Canary Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 Is there any way I can uninstall Windows Messenger from my computer? The icon appears in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen, but I can't find any way of uninstalling it - even using CCleaner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agumon Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 launch the program and Tools -> Options.. -> Preferences uncheck the checkbox for "Run Windows Messenger when Windows starts this should do the trick... otherwise, you can disable it using any startup mananger and disable Windows messenger to run at startup... --==aGumon==-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
