How-to Remove Windows Messenger

This is another question I get asked quite often. Yes, you can remove Windows Messenger from your Windows XP (SP1 or SP2) install.

You can remove Windows Messenger?

You will not believe how easy it easy to remove Windows Messenger. Click "Start" then "Run" and enter the following command:

RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\inf\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove

That is it! There will be no more Windows Messenger on your computer. I recommended installing Trillian or Gaim for all your instant messaging needs. Both programs have AIM, YIM, ICQ, Jabber and MSN all rolled up into one package.

Outlook Express is running slower now! What do I do?

Rather then tell you how you can fix that, just install Mozilla Thunderbird. It is a much safer program to use not to mention it has a spam filter to boot.

But how do I remove Windows Media Player or remove Internet Explorer?

If you are asking yourself that question, perhaps it is time to write Microsoft a letter. To keep their monopoly on things Microsoft has made its software very hard to remove from Windows. Even if you do get the software off, Microsoft has coded the add/remove to not really remove their software. The best choice of action for this is to install Fedora Linux.

That is it for removing Windows Messenger. Enjoy Trillian or Gaim!
