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! :huh:

Merged with above

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

Don't you mean Windows Messenger? 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 :huh:
