How do I get rid of Messenger... why is it such a secret

[smorris@matnet.com]

I do NOT want messeger and I cannot find a way to totally
get rid of it. It should be lumped in with virus' as even
though you try to get rid of it, it keeps reloading
itself. How do I get rid of it completely??? Does anyone
know???? I run XP. HELP HELP

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.
