Okay here is a tip I found that works for removing Windows Messenger,
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
Once you have edited the Sysoc.inf file, you next need to go to add / remove
programs, and then click on add / remove Windows Components tab. Look for
and un-tick the Messenger entries, if they will let you. Once it is done,
and you next re-start the PC, it will no longer run. Now you can go and
delete it from the program files folder if so desired.
Hope that is clear for you all that want this,
Trevnal

Hi Trevnal,
I have Win XP Pro and I can not seem to rename Messenger as suggested by
Lacey. It does not allow itself to be renamed.

Mary Lou,
what Operating System are you running? This will then allow us to give you
the right info on how to remove it.
