Windows Messenger under Internet Explorer 6 Tools
Hi there,
Does anyone know that why there is a sudden Windows Messenger link in my Internet Explorer 6 Tools menu. I have not installed Windows Messenger in that machine. Does it related to Windows XP SP3 or hotfix? And how to hide this? Please advise? Thanks Ivan |

Windows Messenger under Internet Explorer 6 Tools
Greetings Ivan,
This is actually the way XP arrives out of the box, although it's likely something else put it back if you've removed it in the past. If you start the Registry Editor (regedit.exe) and then head over to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Extensions and just click the various keys under that until you find the Windows Messenger one and remove it. It should be: {FB5F1910-F110-11d2-BB9E-00C04F795683} though. Just restart IE after that and it'll be gone. -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger MessengerGeek Blog: http://www.messengergeek.com Messenger Resources: http://messenger.jonathankay.com (c) 2008 Jonathan Kay - If redistributing, you must include this signature or citation -- "Ivan" wrote in message ...
