Windows Messenger link under IE 6

[Ivan]

Hi there,

Does anyone know that why there is a sudden Windows Messenger link in my
Internet Explorer 6 Tools menu.

I have not installed Windows Messenger in that machine. Does it related to
Windows XP SP3 or hotfix?

And how to hide this?

Please advise?

Thanks Ivan

Windows Messenger comes installed already with XP. The old MSN Messenger
and the current Windows Live Messenger need to be downloaded and
installed if you want them. Go to Start/All Programs and you should see
Windows Messenger listed there. I don't know if removing Windows
Messenger with the Windows Add/Remove (as distinguished from the
Programs Add/Remove) but I don't know if it would remove the icon from IE6.
