Greetings Gabriel,

You can remove Windows Messenger (4.7), but if you do, you will be preventing Remote
Assistance, Whiteboard, Application Sharing and any other applications that utilize Messenger
from working (or loading without problems). You can just disable Windows Messenger by
opening it up (click Start, then Run, type "msmsgs" and click OK), click Tools, Options,
Preferences tab and unchecking 'Run this Program when Windows starts' or 'Run Windows
Messenger when Windows starts' (depending on version).

Besides the drawbacks above however, if you really want to remove it completely, for Windows
Messenger 4.7, 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,

You really don't want to remove 4.7. That would remove some of
Messenger's functionality. Truthfully, I like 4.7 better than 6.
