I Want to REMOVE MESSENGER TOO!

[Kelle]

I want to remove a version of messenger too! Just not
for the same reasons as the previous post. My computer,
running windows xp, came with msn messenger version 4.7.
I upgraded to version 6.0, but in doing so, they are both
acting like separate programs! They both open when I
power up! How can I get rid of the older version? The
only one that shows available to remove in the control
panel is the 6.0 version. I can't delete or find any
method to remove the older version! Whats up with this???

PLEASE HELP ME!!

Take a look at Doug Knox's Website at this link for detailed instructions on
how to disable your Windows Messenger.
http://www.dougknox.com/xp/tips/xp_messenger.htm

When you do this your Windows Messenger won't show up in your taskbar
anymore

However if you want to completely remove/uninstall Windows Messenger from
Windows XP can be found at this website made by Jonathan Kay.

Follow the steps and the pictures that the website has and you shouldn't
have anymore problems. Uninstalling Windows Messenger can disable some of
the messenger features such as Whiteboard Sharing, and others on MSN
Messenger if you're using that.

I am sur that your computer came with WINDOWS messenger 4.7, not MSN
messenger 4.7.
If you added MSN messenger 6 to your system, then it is normal that you have
2 messengers because it are 2 different things.

If you upgrade messenger, then look more carefully what you are doing, read
about the issues in this news-group before you do so.

I wish you good luck with the removal now.
