I have used the Windows component removal for Windows
Messenger and it still loads in the system tray. I want
to remove Windows Messenger from my machine COMPLETELY
and I cannot find any way to do this.

PLEASE HELP.

Greetings,

To remove it completely, close down Messenger if it's running (right click the messenger icon
in the notification area/system tray and click close). Then click the start button, then
click Run and type in (copy-paste if you like):
RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\INF\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove

Then click OK.
Messenger will then be uninstalled. For more detailed instructions and screenshots, go to,
