Greetings Curtis,
Assuming you mean Windows Messenger, you can completely remove Windows Messenger (4.7) but if
you do, you will be preventing Remote Assistance, Whiteboard, and Application Sharing from
working. Instead you might want to simply disable Windows Messenger by opening it up
(double-click the Messenger icon), choose the Tools menu, then Options, then Preferences tab,
uncheck 'Run this program when Windows starts' and click OK.
However, assuming you don't use this functionality that would be disabled by removing
Messenger, you can simply remove it by closing down Messenger if it's running (right click
the messenger icon in the notification area/system tray and click close). Then click the
start button, then click Run and type in (copy-paste if you like):
RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\INF\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove
Then click OK.
Messenger will then be uninstalled. For more detailed instructions and screenshots, go to,
