Scroll down the newsgroup postings and look at the discussion thread posted

help ?

let me know and I will do the same for you.

Ok. You will lose a couple of applications that Windows Messenger supported.
But I don't think it makes much of a difference. I don't think I ever used
those applications, or at least I don't think I will ever need to use them. I
have no idea what "whiteboard" is...

The following is a quote I picked up here in Usenet - sorry I didn't quote the
name of the poster. Copy/paste the line near the bottom of the quote into
start\run:
------------------------ begin quote:

You can completely remove Windows Messenger (4.7) but if you do, you will be
preventing Remote Assistance, Whiteboard, Application Sharing and any other
applications that utilize Messenger from working (or loading without
problems).
<snip>
However, if you really want to remove it completely, for Windows Messenger
4.7, close down Messenger if it's running (right click the messenger icon in
the notification area/system tray and click close). Then click the start
button, then click Run and type in (copy-paste if you like):

RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\INF\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove

Then click OK.
Messenger will then be uninstalled.

Worked for me. Now only people see me if I log in when I want, with MSN
Messenger.

Of course all of my buddies who use Yahoo Messenger see me online most of the
time because that is my main messenger program., and I now belong to a Yahoo
Messenger chatroom group.

My problem with MSN Messenger (voice problems) extended far back before I
disabled Windows Messenger.

Just a little comment if you needed to know..

Whiteboard is like paint but two people can draw at once
wen in a conversation together using windows messenger.

Nothing special, not losing much.

I'd use 6.2.
