The above can work. Another step w/ WinXP would be to go into the services and DISABLE messaging. Doing this will eliminate those annoying pop up messages that the guarantee my sex life will increase if I simply call. Seriously though, going into the "Admministrator Tools", go to "Services", right click messaging and select "Disable".

This is going to sound wierd, but trust me - it works - or at least it has worked 2 out of 2 for me.

Download AIM Instant Messenger from Netscape or AOL and install it, and accept the offer to make it your default messaging program. This will disable the auto-execution of Windows Messenger, and remove the option in Outlook Express to load Windows Messenger when OE opens.

Once you have installed and configured AIM Instant Messenger, go into its configuration options and de-select it as your default messaging program. This should leave you with no default messaging program.

See how you go.

Cheers,

Alan

or
To completely remove Messenger, click Start - Run then type:
"RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\INF\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove" in the text box and click OK. You will see a progress bar appear shortly as it deletes its files and it will then ask you to reboot. After the reboot the program will be gone.

Answer 2 above only disables the Windows messenger, which is NOT the same as MSN Messenger. Windows Messenger is used by adminstrators etc. to pop up messages on NT/W2K/XP computers. (most home users can do without)

MSN Messenger is a different animal altogether..... -And I don't know how to remove it sorry. :-( (But I will try some of these other fixes myself)

Go to Add/Remove Windows Components under Add or Remove Programs. Scroll to the bottom of the list and uncheck Windows Messenger and click next. This will uninstall MSN Messenger. You will still need to go into Outlook Express (and/or MS Outlook if you have it) and make sure it is disabled. I would also recommend uninstalling MSN Explorer if you do not use MSN as your ISP.

Lots of luck
