Re: getting rid of Windows Messenger

I guess, but all we ever do is choose that ad/remove windows components 
section and the right checkbox inside the right group and then delete the 
folder.  I actually usually just disable it from inside windows messenger 
first and make sure it I am using outlook express that it is not set to use 
windows messenger.  I don't have issues after doing this even at the highest 
level and removing the folder and have never gone through the pain of 
following the ms instructions although it is probably the best way to go.

Dear List:

This question was asked before and you need to go through a very detailed
process.

It is more than changing the registry and add / remove.

Much more.

Please contact me off list and I can send you the two page process.

use ad remove programs in windows.  choose ad/remove windows components.
You will have to find it I think it will be in accessories/communication.

Hi Trippy, have you tried the registry?  I have  that too, and when I
first got the laptop I had to sign out of it or else get a lot of spam!  I
get enough of that in my E-mail and don't need any more of t that, but Win
Messinger is just taking up space.
