How do you remove MSN Messenger in Windows XP? Not from the Add/Remove program list but by locating SYSOC.INF in the \Windows\INF folder (hidden file and folder). Open it in Notepad and locate the line: msmsgs=msgrocm.dll,OcEntry,msmsgs.inf,hide,7
Remove the word 'hide' from the line and save the file. After making the necessary changes, you'll be able to see MSN Messenger in the Add/Remove Windows components list. You can then remove it for good. |

Wow thanks so much that kicked ass. It annoys me from time to time due to some config ressets... Now, no more!
 -----Merged with above-----szupie I'm sorry for the double posting, since there's no edit button... but, couldn't this be moved to the Tutorials section of the forum? -----No, because this is just a tip, and is too short to be considered a tutorial-----szupie This post has been edited by szupie: Dec 13 2005, 10:41 PM |

I can remove MSN Messenger just fine in the Add/Remove Program list. Windows Messenger is the annoying one that launches at start up and hides and takes away your memory. Thanks for the tip. (I actually thought it was a question at first, because of your first sentence [right][snapback]63661[/snapback][/right]  )
