Re: Windows Messenger4.7/MSN7.5



Greetings Danilo,

You can remove Windows Messenger, but if you do, Remote Assistance, Whiteboard and
Application Sharing will no longer function.

Instead, you can simply disable Windows Messenger. To do so, open it up (click Start, then
Run, type "msmsgs" and click OK), click Tools, Options, Preferences tab and uncheck 'Run this
Program when Windows starts' or 'Run Windows Messenger when Windows starts' (depending on
version) as well as 'Allow this program to run in the background' or 'Allow Windows Messenger
to run in the background' (depending on version).
