I have a Portuguese (I think) version of Windows Live Msgr that I can't get
rid of. It lives in a small desktop icon that resembles one of those
fricking widgets. It functions differently from my regular Messenger
application, which I open from the popup list of applications just to the
right of the START button. This thing appears as a small rectangle right
above the START button, labeled "msnmsnr." When I click the "x" to close it,
nothing happens. But when I double click the name, it opens a standard
Messenger window -- except it's in PORTUGUESE!!! When I try to click on any
of the menus in the window -- where normally it would say "File," etc. -- I
get a prompt that says "msn messenger nao pode ser movido!" -- yes, the
exclamation point is part of the message in the prompt. Clicking the "x"
also does nothing when the full window is open, though I CAN minimize it --
back into its tiny rectangular desktop icon. Someone suggested using a
utility called "Remove Messenger" -- here:
http://uninstall-windows-messenger.qarchive.org/ -- which works, except it
removes the REGULAR messenger and leaves this litle bugger still squatting
down near my START button grinning at me. Also, whenever I Alt + tab between
applications, the Messenger icon is there even when the applications isn't
open. Anyone have any guidance? Thanks in advance.
