Windows Messenger link under IE 6

[Guest Ivan]

Hi there,

 

Does anyone know that why there is a sudden Windows Messenger link in my

Internet Explorer 6 Tools menu.

 

I have not installed Windows Messenger in that machine. Does it related to

Windows XP SP3 or hotfix?

 

And how to hide this?

 

Please advise?

 

Thanks Ivan

Windows Messenger comes installed already with XP. The old MSN Messenger

and the current Windows Live Messenger need to be downloaded and

installed if you want them. Go to Start/All Programs and you should see

Windows Messenger listed there. I don't know if removing Windows

Messenger with the Windows Add/Remove (as distinguished from the

Programs Add/Remove) but I don't know if it would remove the icon from IE6.
