i want to completely remove this program from my system but it doesn't work...i uninstall but it's still stuck in the system folder and i don't want to crash my PC by just deleting it. when i reinstall msn msgr 6 it says it needs some file called msnmsgs.msi (which i dont have) to install msnmsgr 5! why 5 when i want to install 6??? :angry: how can i remove it????? does anyone use this??

Messenger does not appear in the Add/Remove Programs applet in the Control Panel. In order for it to show up there, you must first edit the file named sysoc.inf. This file can be found in a folder named INF, which is a subfolder of the Windows folder (or in some cases the winnt folder, depending on how your OS was installed). You can open that file in notepad. Look for the following line:
msmsgs=msgrocm.dll,OcEntry,
msmsgs.inf,hide,7
and remove the word "hide" while leaving the commas on place. Close and save the file, and then open the Add/Remove Programs applet in the Control Panel, so that you can remove it like any other program.

Azat, could you click on the link for me. For some reason CheekYs post is on this page. Don't know if they added this on there, or it's my PC. Thanks.
