Say goodbye…Windows Messenger!!!

Hello…

After a little while I return to posting…In this while I was closing a project in my office, fiuuuuuu al last…!!! :P.

In one of these long nights when I was rebooting my PC…and surprise!!! My old and not lovely Windows Messenger appears, after almost 8 years of my first usage of this program.

I already have installed Windows Live Messenger with Live Essentials and beyond…jejeje…but the old Messenger made an entrance…

I surfed the internet a little while and found a little page with a definitive solution…uninstall the old Messenger. Uninstalled if from Add or Remove Programs option in Control Panel is not enough…I thought it was, I was wrong, and the appearance of the programs probes that.

The option remains active indeed I’ve uninstalled it, so I found this little command to finally remove it.

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

You can just copy/paste the command above in the Open: box from the Run command.

Note: If you have Windows XP Service Pack 1 installed, you'll receive this error message:

Just click OK, Windows Messenger will still be removed.

Hope it helps….
