MSN Messenger unable to uninstall

[XPerties]

So i downloaded this MSN messenger as a joke for a certain person thinking they were icons, well the trouble is it auto starts with XP on boot up, it can be seen in the uninstall control panel, Ive ran msconfig and its not listed in there as a start up, and its not listed in the startup folder. The path to this app is C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger

I seen the how to remove windows messenger as on your guides and posted Here but they are referring to windows messenger and not MSN messenger altho thats what the topic says.

What do you suggest?

Is it MSN Messenger 5.0? You said 'it can be seen in the uninstall control panel', if you meant Add/Remove, then... uninstall it from there.

Or, rename your C\Program Files\MSN Messenger folder to something like C:\Program Files\MSN MessengerOFF

to remove it from start up

and if u cannot uninstall, delete the directory and contents

Moved to Windows XP > Software
