MSN Messenger

Hello

Does anyone know how to remove MSN messenger from the taskbar? Cause it keeps appearing after I reboot no matter what I do and I don't even use MSN at all

Thanks

Re: MSN Messenger

Go into the options in the program and un tick the box "Automatically run Messenger when I log onto Windows"

Either that, or completely uninstall it after you shut it down. Then, be sure that you uncheck it when you do a Windows Update so that it doesn't reinstall itself.

Unistalling can be done from, 'Add/Remove Programs' -> Windows Components(?) there scrolling to the end of the list, selecting the last item pressing details and unchecking the MSN MESSENGZZZOR.

'edit

This is ofcourse for the messenger that comes with windows XP, the 7.something should be removable from the normal add/remove programs list(no?)
