Messenger

[Laurel]

Don't use it, don't want it. Even though I've downloaded
the lastest "necessary" download I can't get rid of the
pop up that keeps saying I have to download. Help!
Anyway to get rid of Messenger?

Take a look at Doug Knox's Website at this link for detailed instructions on
how to disable your Windows Messenger.

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.
