I am trying to find a method of either removing or disabling the Windows Messenger when installing XP. I have no intention of using WM and would like to keep it from being installed in the first place. I have already poured through the installation options and unattended install options, TechNet and others with no luck. I'm hoping someone has found a hack for this.

Thanx

I haven't seen a tip on preventing WM from installing.
However, I have seen several tips on how to remove it from XP.

Chack out www.aumha.org
and www.onecomputerguy.com

Check the registry hacks at aumha, and the XP tips at Bob's page.

Thanx for your answer but I have already found all I ever wanted to know about removing or disabling WM once installed. I'm just looking for a way to avoid having to go back and do just that. later...
