As we all know, disabling MSN is PER user and I need to disable it for all
accounts
Better yet, how can I perform an unattended uninstall via a script?

Greetings Karl,

You can disable it for all users on a PC by running and downloading this .reg file:
http://messenger.jonathankay.com/dow...emessenger.reg

However this will only disable Windows Messenger -- this will have no effect to on MSN
Messenger 5 or MSN Messenger 6.

It'd be difficult to create a script to do this because Windows Messenger 4.x, MSN Messenger
5/6, and Windows Messenger 5 are all different (in terms of their installers).

I'm sorry, I meant to say the MSN Messenger that comes installed with XP.

However this will only disable Windows Messenger (the MSN Messenger that comes with Windows
XP) -- this will have no effect to on MSN Messenger 5 or MSN Messenger 6 (which has to be
downloaded separately).
