Re: Uninstall Messenger


Hi, Jw:
I thing i might have the solution to completely remove messenger from
the system, and whenever you wanna run it again u can just install
back.
Just see the instructions given bellow:

Remove Messenger from XP
Start/Run/RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection
%windir%\INF\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove
Disable Messenger
Start/Run/gpedit.msc/Admistrative Templates/Windows Components/Windows
Messenger. Alter your settings in the right pane. (For Pro)
Stop Windows Messenger from Auto-Starting

Simply delete the following Registry Key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\MSMSGS

Uninstall Messenger
You have to edit sysoc.inf (located in /WINDOWS/inf). Under
[Components] you should see the following line:
msmsgs=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,msmsgs.inf,hide,7. Take the word 'hide' out
of the line, and it should look like this:
msmsgs=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,msmsgs.inf,,7. Exit and save.

Go to Add or Remove Programs, and click on Add/Remove Windows
Components. There you should now be able to uncheck the MSN Messenger
Service, and by clicking Next it will uninstall.
