Can some one tell me how to uninstall windows messenger not msn messenger!
It's an integrated part of Windows XP, so you're unable to remove it fully unless you use some kind of radical modification software (e.g. LiteXP). Same applies to Internet Explorer & Windows Media Player.
Of course, if you decide to use LiteXP I'd seriously recommend backing up all your data beforehand, as a cock-up could mean that WinXP has to be reinstalled
Here you go:
Windows 2000
Click Start-> Settings-> Control Panel-> Administrative Tools->Services
Scroll down and highlight "Messenger"
Right-click the highlighted line and choose Properties.
Click the STOP button.
Select Disable or Manual in the Startup Type scroll bar
Click OK
Windows XP Home
Click Start->Settings ->Control Panel
Click Performance and Maintenance
Click Administrative Tools
Double click Services Scroll
down and highlight "Messenger"
Right-click the highlighted line and choose Properties.
Click the STOP button.
Select Disable or Manual in the Startup Type scroll bar
Click OK
Windows XP Professional
Click Start->Settings ->Control Panel
Click Administrative Tools
Click Services
Double click Services Scroll
down and highlight "Messenger"
Right-click the highlighted line and choose Properties.
Click the STOP button.
Select Disable or Manual in the Startup Type scroll bar
Click OK
Windows NT
Click Start ->Control Panel
Double Click Administrative Tools
Select Services-> Double-click on Messenger
In the Messenger Properties window, select Stop,
Then choose Disable as the Startup Type
Click OK
Windows 98 & ME
Windows Messenger Service cannot be disabled
Remove Messenger from XP

should uninstall it.
To remove any OE lag because of it:
Start/Run/Regedit
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Outlook Express. Value Name: Hide Messenger, Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value), Value Data: (2 = remove messenger). Create a new DWORD value, or modify the existing value, called 'Hide Messenger' and set the value to 2.
IE:
Hit Start
Hit Run
In the box, type in (WITHOUT THE "" QUOTES! "regedit"
navigate to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Outlook Express"
Right click
Hit Create new DWORD value
Set the value to 2
THIS ONLY WORKS FOR WINDOWS XP!

Talking about msn, explorer. and windows media player B)
Use BOT's method.
I found that a few weeks ago and it works perfectly.
It will allow you to either diable Messenger or delete it altogether.
