codeblue Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 I want to write a batch file to shut down and delete MSN Messenger. I know how to delete the applicable files but am unsure how to close Messenger.In My Unattended XPCD i use TaskKill but this is a seperate program. I need to close messenger without using any other programs.?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So im looking to create a simple routeen to delete MSN messenger without installing or dropping in any new software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanoll Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 i don't see how you're going to close it without using a seperate progam....taskkill is included with XP, so it's not neccessarily like adding one.Why is this in the 9x forum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neosapience Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 I'm assuming that all your systems are running XP.If so, this should do it for ya.You may have to reboot the computer tho. nomsn.cmd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfshade Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 u could put an entry in the answer file:[Components]msnexplr=Offand u can even disable the messenger seervice via registry;Messenger[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Messenger]"Start"=dword:00000004deleting it the usual fashion way would result in an error message at startup i think -- u might want to consider that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanoll Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 the Messenger service is different from MSN Messenger. Or don't you know that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
