Two MSN Messengers

[Andrea]

I downloaded MSN 6.0, and now I have two MSN, 4.7 and 6.0.
The 4.7 is not in add/remove programs. What do I do? Just
have two? Can or should I get rid of 4.7 and if so HOW?

Your Windows Messenger 4.7 and MSN Messenger 6.0 are two seperate
applications.
Win Messenger 4.7 is included with windows XP, you can disable it if you are
using Windows XP Pro by following the detailed instructions on Doug Knox's
Website
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.

Seems to be a common misunderstanding. There's a guide on how to disable
the annoying non-MSN messenger that I wrote here, just in case you're
having problems with that one: http://tinyurl.com/8wblg

Windows Messenger works fine for me, but then I am not 'into' the emoticon
thing.. plain messages are fine..
