A lot of people want to know how to remove the MSN Messenger service from XP... here's how:Method I:-
Step 1: Go to control panel (start->settings->control panel)
Step 2: Select add or remove icon there.
Step 3: A window popups and in the left panel select "Add/Remove Windows Components"
Step 4: And in the list select only (Tick) MSN explorer and slect next .
That's all you have done.
Method II:-
Locate SYSOC.INF in the \Windows\INF folder (hidden file and folder),
Open it in Notepad and locate the line: msmsgs=msgrocm.dll,OcEntry,msmsgs.inf,hide,7
Remove the word "hide" from the line and save the file. You will now have an entry in add/remove programs. Do what you will :)
OR (XP Pro Only) leave it installed, but tell Windows to never let it run. If you're running XP Professional, you can use GPEDIT.MSC to prevent Messenger from loading. Otherwise, even disabling it in startup won't cause it to "always" not run. NOTE: Outlook, Outlook Express and some Microsoft web pages can still make it load.
