or u can just go to is preference options and uncheck start with windows and remove running in background.

Weird... There are two messenger services, Microsoft Messenger and MSN Messenger. MSN Messenger doesnt come on your computer, and to remove it you can select it from the add/remove programs menu.

Microsoft messenger is a different story, if thatts what you have, follow the directions in the link kof posted.

 

[kof2000]

looks like he just dont want it to run in startup

That doesnt remove it entirely, if you want to get rid of it i would do what kof said to do.

 

[robina_80]

go Control panel, Add/remove programs and Add/remove windows components and uncheck it

 

[robina_80]

sorry for double post i didnt see someone already posted what i said

 

[Geoff]

go Control panel, Add/remove programs and Add/remove windows components and uncheck it

thats the same exact thing that the other guy said, and it only partly removes it, your still able to log into it, and hotmail automatically opens it back up.
