Is there a way to remove Windows Messenger and/or .net from a new WinXP SP2
comp?

Thx
Dave

Start ==> Run
RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection
%windir%\INF\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove
OK
and that's it :)

Hi Splash - Thanks for the reply

I'm OK through Run ---- Rundll32. advpack.dll

After that neither my comp nor I know what to enter next. Don't know what
to do with the commas.

Thx
Dave

Greetings Dave,

What you need to run is this:
RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\INF\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove

Then click OK.
Messenger will then be uninstalled. For more detailed instructions and screenshots, go to,

OK Jonathan - that got it. Turns out you need some judicious spaces between
some of the characters.
Thx much

Dave
