			Whenever I start WinXP Pro, Windows Messenger pops up to sign in.
I do not use Windows messenger.   How can I turn it off?  Roman
		
		
	 
Modify C:\Windows\Inf\Sysoc.inf to remove the word "Hide" from
the pertinent Windows Components entries.  Be sure to leave the two
surrounding commas in place.  (For example, change the line
"AccessUtil=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,accessor.inf,hide,7" to read
"AccessUtil=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,accessor.inf,,7"), and then go to Control
Panel > Add/Remove Programs > Add/Remove Windows Components.  Windows
Messenger will now appear among the list of Windows components that can
be removed.
