Windows XP was getting really slow so you reinstalled it. However, Windows Messenger loaded again by default. You don’t use this messenger to chat at all, but it cannot be removed using the “Add/Remove Programs” dialog box. By default, Windows does not show Messenger in the list of installed software. However, the corresponding entry is only hidden. You can change this—and shut the chatterbox up. Open the “sysoc.inf” file in Notepad—its location, as per the standard installation is “C:\Windows\Inf”. Search for the following line in the text file:
msmsgs-msgrocm .dll,OcEntry,msmsgs. inf,hide,7
Delete “hide”. Make sure you don’t delete the comma with it. After saving the file, open “Start | Control Panel | Software” and select “Add/remove Windows components”. The list shows an
entry for Windows Messenger, which you can now uninstall.
