Angry Turning off MSN Messenger

How do I turn this sucker off? Msconfig didn't work.. it keeps yapping about outlook explorer using it or some junk. I can't delete it
*wishes DOSSHELL AND DOS existed still*

How do I get rid of this sucker permanently?
I know I can turn it off in the preferences.. but I just want it out.

Re: Turning off MSN Messenger

BTW are you talking about MSN Messenger and not Windows Messenger? The former SHOULD be possible to just uninstall via Add/Remove programs. The latter is a pain in the floppy.

Re: Turning off MSN Messenger

Getting rid of Windows messenger: (I only know this for XP it might be different for other OS's)
If you go into control panel and click "Add/Remove Programs"
Then on the left you will see "Add/Remove Windows Components" - click it
At the bottom of the list it will say Windows Messenger. Continue with the instructions given.

Hope this helps

Re: Turning off MSN Messenger

Mel, other OSes dont have MSN messenger because there is a gazillion other ones that work about 1000000 times better, faster and do all the same things that MSN messenger does, you must be referring to other versions of windows, not OS's...

Microsoft, the leader in using innovative tactics to promote irksome experience, coupled with antiquated technology that's held together by a pyramid of makeshift afterthoughts.

Apple, the leader in using irksome tactics to promote innovative experience, coupled with an antiquated core that's enhanced by state-of-the-art afterthoughts.

Linux, the leader in not using any tactics to promote user-defined experience, coupled with state-of-the-art core enhanced by innovative afterthoughts.

Re: Turning off MSN Messenger

Hey other OSes like to run things that are a lot less obfuscated and bloated which makes programs work faster and more efficiently, which is what all OSes other then Windows are trying and acheiving...
