How to uninstall 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

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.

http://woupi.free.fr/Astuces/astuce_xp.htm it has everything you need

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.

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

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

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...

Hello

Go get the little software SUPPERESS PLUS for free at this link.

Great for uninstalling crap.

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!
