Question
How do I get rid of / Uninstall Messenger from Windows XP?
Answer
The first thing you have to do is make messenger visible in 'Add Remove Windows Components'
Edit c:\windows\inf\sysoc.inf, remove the word 'hide' from the line msmsgs=msgrocm dll,OcEntry,msmsgs.inf,hide,7 (leave all the commas), and then save the file.
Go to control panel, run Add/Remove programs, and click the 'Add/Remove Windows Components' button. Messenger will now be displayed in the list, and you can uncheck the box. Messenger will be removed.
