Can't Delete MSN nor MSN Gaming Zone

[A. Smith]

In Control Panel " Add or Delete Programs," they don't show up,
but in the directory

C:\Programs Files

are the folders

MSN and MSN Gaming Zone.

Every time I delete them, they show up again.
They're like relatives. How can I delete them
permanently?

You can't, so quit trying.

MSN Explorer SHOULD show up under the "Add/Remove Windows Components"
section of Add/Remove, click that icon in the left pane then uncheck MSN
Explorer.

I'm assuming you do not have "regular" MSN installed, just the MSN stuff
that came bundled w/ XP.

I'd like to delete everything in the MSN directory as shown below.

"C:\Program Files\MSN\

You're an Anal Dude who is wasting everyone's time here.

You can't do what you want, so shut the **** up and go back to trying
to do something else.
