How do I uninstall Windows messenger under XP.

[Gary]

I have Windows Messenger and I don't wantit, my daughter
exclusively uses AOL, and I use nothing.

Because this seemingly acts like a TSR and insists on
starting up and conflicting (on boot up) with other start
programs, I just want this to go away and simplify my
computer life. Does anyone know how to make that happen?
And are they're any pitfalls in accomplishing same?

Thanks.

Hi,

Take a look at Doug Knox's Website at this link for detailed instructions on
how to disable your Windows Messenger.
http://www.dougknox.com/xp/tips/xp_messenger.htm

When you do this your Windows Messenger won't show up in your taskbar
anymore

However if you want to completely remove/uninstall Windows Messenger from
Windows XP can be found at this website made by Jonathan Kay.

Follow the steps and the pictures that the website has and you shouldn't
have anymore problems.

Uninstalling Windows Messenger can disable some of
the messenger features such as Whiteboard Sharing, and others on MSN
Messenger if you're using that.
