helix1405241470 0 Report post Posted September 17, 2004 Here's one: how can I close messenger without using the task manager? I can right click on it in the system tray and kill it at work but at home it complains that it's being used by explorer or something (which is an utter lie). Sometimes I really hate that virus.

dissipate 0 Report post Posted September 17, 2004 i think you can actually get windows to uninstall messenger if you go to control panel, add/remove programs, add/remove windows components and look for messenger in the list. (winxp users) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

currahee 0 Report post Posted September 17, 2004 Actually someone made a VBscript program that gets rid of it for you. Might reduce some headaches... not too sure but its cool.http://www.dougknox.com/xp/tips/xp_messenger_remove.htmOh and also even if you use Windows Messenger, its probably better to use MSN Messenger as its more customizable and it saves your conversations if you want it too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
