Is there any way I can uninstall Windows Messenger from my computer? The icon appears in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen, but I can't find any way of uninstalling it - even using CCleaner.

launch the program and Tools -> Options.. -> Preferences
uncheck the checkbox for "Run Windows Messenger when Windows starts

this should do the trick... otherwise, you can disable it using any startup mananger and disable Windows messenger to run at startup...

Brilliant - it worked. And thanks for the quick response, too.

no problem...

Start, Run...
%windir%\inf\sysoc.inf

Edit > Replace
Find what: msmsgs.inf,hide,7
Replace with: msmsgs.inf,,7
Click Replace All
Click Cancel
File > Save
Go to Add/Remove Programs > Add/Remove Windows Components > Uncheck all Windows Messenger boxes > Next

Thanks a lot. That worked too!

If you ever do Remote Assistance, you'll need to have Windows Messenger.

If I needed it, would it be easy to install?

Windows Messenger 4.7

That easy.

Thanks!
