Remove Messenger from XP

Start/Run/

RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\INF\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove

Not using VBS or EXE files can limit you.

User choice

[xper]

Thats better.

:-)

Start/Run/

RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\INF\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove

or open sysoc.inf and remove HIDE

or open sysoc.inf and remove HIDE

Yeh you can do it that way but easier and faster is to copy and paste the run command instead of fiddling around with te SYSOC.inf file.

Again, user choice
