If you remove the "hide", on any entry, it then allows it to show up in add
and remove programs , under the windows section. That is why I said be
careful with what you then remove.
I removed the word hide from every entry, and then I found many things I
could remove, but some I had no idea what there were etc, so I left them.
it allow me to remove things like Messenger, Media Player etc. So that is
why I said be careful, don't delete from the list, what you are not sure
about.
Hope that helps,

will it then show up in add remove? since it doesn't now?
ok - I found the file and the line.
when you say - On all entries that have hide.....
what do you mean by ALL entries ?
all entries in that entire page? or just the one in that string?
Just want to be sure before I mess with it!
thx!

If the follow the following information, you can uninstall MS Messenger and
a few other things in XP, just be careful what you delete though.
Edit sysoc.inf. This file can be found in a folder named INF, which is in
the
C:\WINDOWS\inf folder. You can open that file in notepad. Look for the
following line: msmsgs=msgrocm.dll,OcEntry,msmsgs.inf,hide,7
On all entries that has hide, remove the word hide, but leave the comma's.
Now you can remove the files in add/remove programs.
Once you have told Windows to remove Messenger, you can then delete the
files from the program files folder also.
As I said, just be careful on what you do delete after you can see the
programs listed.

Does anyone know if there is a way to uninstall msn messenger?
I used it for a while when a friend could only use that one - then I changed
my
e-mail address, and the program got corrupted or something. Now - it shows
up in
a search - it shows up in program files, but there is no apparent way to
open
it - it doesn't show up in add/remove programs. Search finds it inside
service
pack files also....interesting, I thought. There is no uninstall inside
c\program files\msn messenger either -
I logged off (winXP) and it had to end program - msn messenger - which made
me
curious - since it doesn't show up as running in my task bar and there isn't
a
shortcut to even try to open it!
