Delete Windows Messenger

Windows messenger loads by default with the MS Windows. And it is not even displayed in the list of installed softwares. This is because the corresponding entry is hidden. But if the chat box is annoying and you never use it, the messenger can be shut....

* Navigate to "C:\\Windows\Inf\"

* Open the file "sysoc.inf" file in the notepad

* Search for the following line in the text file:

msmsgs-msgrocm.dll,OcEntry,msmsgs.inf,hide,7


* Delete "hide". And make sure u don’t delete the comma with it.

* Save the file.

* Click "Start ==> Control Panel ==> Software" and select "Add/remove Windows components".

* The list now shows an entry for Windows Messenger, which u can now uninstall.


Please Comment!!


Have fun!
