Hi, you just have to follow this tutorial http://comments-astuce.blogspot.com/...
Good luck. -
Hi, as far as I'm concerned, what worked for me is this:
Go to "Start", "Run" and type this command: RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%/INF/msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove
However, if you want to use it again later, you need to reinstall it completely
there you go
see you -
you are making things way too complicated:
1- Click on "start"
2- Click on "Set your default programs"
3- Click on "custom"
4- Uncheck the box to no longer have access with Windows Messenger... -

Hi,
Shoot The Messenger -> http://www.grc.com/stm/shootthemessenger.htm
Just in case, two other excellent security freewares:
DCOMbobulator -> http://www.grc.com/dcom/
UnPlug n' Pray -> http://www.grc.com/unpnp/unpnp.htm -
Hello,
An utility allows you to do it very neatly: Xp-AntiSpy.
In addition to that, it provides a whole bunch of settings for XP:
No more automatic updates, no more remote assistance, no more error reports, etc., etc., etc....
All these actions are reversible, with just a checkbox.
It’s FREEWARE.
The latest version is available at this address:

Good job -
Go to telecharger.com and type uninstall Windows Messenger and you will get an answer. I did it and it uninstalled it for me, but another version persists? I'm still looking for another way to uninstall it.
Hi. -
just go to add/remove programs --> add/remove Windows components, uncheck Windows Messenger, click next, and that's it.
Then you can still check in program files if the directory hasn't been left empty. -
Yeah, your solution is effective, but it involves installing additional software that will eat up RAM and won't be useful to me often...
I found another simpler solution:
Go to "Start," "Run," and type this command: RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%/INF/msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove
However, if you want to use it later, you need to reinstall it completely
There you go, see you later!
