| 601272 | 2007-10-14 19:18:00 | Hi Guys I have just set up a new PC with XP. What is the easiest way to get rid of MSN ? It keeps popping up in the system tray. I can disable it using Msconfig.exe I suppose, but is that the best way to get rid of it completely ? I don't ever want to see it again ! Does anyone ever us it ? Regards Digby |

| 601273 | 2007-10-14 19:24:00 | Run the 'Set Program Access and Defaults' (Should be on the Start Menu) Under Custom scroll down to the Instant Messaging software and untick the box next to Windows Messenger (Enable access to this program) |

| 601274 | 2007-10-14 19:45:00 | Or even better, uninstall it completely. Control panel > add/remove programs > add/remove Windows components > untick Windows Messenger > Next > Finish. That way you will never see it again |

| 601278 | 2007-10-14 21:14:00 | OE hooks into MSN when it (OE) starts. This can be disabled under Options, however. | linw (53) | ||
| 601279 | 2007-10-14 21:16:00 | What's MSN messanger got to do with running OE? MSN Messenger runs by default when OE is used as an email client. And it makes itself difficult to remove or stop. |
