I thought I was upgrading to 6.1, but now I find I have 6.1 and 4.7 on one
XP machine

Add/Remove only shows 6.1
How do I remove 4.7


thanks,

Take a look at Doug Knox's Website at this link for detailed instructions on
how to disable your Windows Messenger 4.7
http://www.dougknox.com/xp/tips/xp_messenger_remove.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.
http://messenger.jonathankay.com/problem.aspx?ID=7

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.

They are two different programs. One is MSN Messenger (6.1), the other is
Windows Messenger (4.7)
