[dustinbob]

this has been bothering me for so long, every time i open the "control alt delete thing" msmsgs is open and not in the corner. i have tryed to uninstall MSN and i got the new Update (6.0) but i just cant seem to get rid of it.

does anyone have an idea as to how i can get rid of this or what it is?

To remove MS Messenger:

On XP Systems without SP1:

Click Start / Run Then type the following:
RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\INF\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove
Press ENTER
Restart Windows

On XP Systems WITH SP 1:

Control Panel
Add / Remove Programs
Click on "Add/Remove Windows Components" on the left
UNcheck "Windows Messenger"
Click "NEXT"
Click "Finish"
Reboot

The first one works with SP1 also.
