Dumping Windows Messenger
I just installed Service Pack 3 on my XP Home computer.
How do I get rid of Windows Messenger (completely) I don't want it to load and keep reminding me that I am "not signed in" (or constantly trying to act as a server etc.) TIA for any help. |

You can just uninstall it. Windows Live Messenger has replace that relic
anyway. If you can't uninstall it just remove it from the startup menu or the run key in the registry. You could also go to properties in Windows Messenger and remove the check mark that indicates that it should load when windows starts. -- Randem Systems Your Installation Specialist The Top Inno Setup Script Generator http://www.randem.com/innoscript.html http://www.rndem.com/installerproblems.html http://www.randem.com/vistainstalls.html http://www.financialtrainingservices.org "Sunny" wrote in message ...

Sunny: A quite simple way of ridding Windows Messenger from your system is 1. Close Messenger if it's running. 2. Click Start | Run and paste the following line into the Run field: RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\INF\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove 3. Click OK and reboot. And that's it. Anna |
