4.7 how to remove ???

[Paul H]

Hi... I am happy with msn 6.0 messenger , So how can i
delete 4.7 messenger off my system ? .. Reason why is
everytime i add a new email account with OE it always
start up 4.7 and i know i can just go to OE option and
remove the check mark auto log on to windows messenger
but i rather just delete the damn thing off my
computer ... Now do i need to have 4.7 messenger
install ??? again i know that i can have it not start up
in the msconfig section ( start up ) Just curious if i
can delete it off the system ???

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.

an easy way to disable messenger 4.7 is to change the
name of the file folder in prog files

Feenics,
Your version of Windows XP must be different from mine, I cannot find
WINDOWS Messenger 4.7 in my Program Files. I think that the post by
Gary Tsang ( above is the
correct way to go http://messenger.jonathankay.com/problem.aspx?ID=7
