Uninstall windows live messenger - How do I uninstall.

[Guest Chris XP]

I have tried lots ways.....

 

Add remove programs.....windows messenger is unchecked.

 

RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\INF\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove

 

But I still have the windows live folders and can run windows messenger.

 

Should I delete these folders? Any advice would be appreciated.

 

I have windows xp home version 5.1 (build 2600.....service pack 2)

 

I have Windows live messenger version 2008 (build 8.5.1302.1018) (which I

dont want!!!)

It sounds like you unchecked it in add remove windows components. That just

stops it from running at startup. You need to uninstall it from add remove

programs hope this helps
