| 55937 | 2002-06-21 11:30:00 | Someone was asking about removing Windows Messenger in WinXP? If you want to completely remove it from WinXp Home/Pro then do the following: NOTE the inf directory is a 'special' system directory make sure you have enabled your explorer folder view options appropriately. Open C:\WINDOWS\inf\sysoc.inf in NOTEPAD and change the line: msmsgs=msgrocm.dll,OcEntry,msmsgs.inf,hide,7 to msmsgs=msgrocm.dll,OcEntry,msmsgs.inf,7 Save and Exit from Notepad. You can then go into Control Panel | Add or Remove Programs and then use Add/Remove Windows Components to remove Messenger. BTW If you are the more adventuous type then remove ",hide" from each (all) of the lines in SYSOC.INF. Now have a look in Add/Remove Windows Components section. Cheers, Babe. |

| 55946 | 2002-11-05 03:44:00 | Why muck about with changing all these things? I simply opened explorer and selected Messenger and then hit delete. It's been gone for a year and no problems Jack. |
