How do I get rid of Messenger forever?
I have deleted it frou RUN in regedit, deleted the Messenger file form
Program Files and stopped it from loading in Start up in msconfig, but it
keeps coming back.

Thank you,

Philip

Hi Philip,

Control Panel/Add & Remove/Windows Components, you can uninstall it here
provided you have at least the first service pack installed.
