Like the title says....

I got Trillian recently, and want to get rid of MSN Messenger. Not that I don't like it, I just don't want it running and using resources. And good ol' Microsoft has made their latest release seemeingly integrated into at least Outlook, maybe other programs. (Kinda sound like what they did when they integrated IE with windows, eh?)

So if there is even a SAFE way to get rid of it, I'd love to know.

Thanx

Open the folder C:\Windows\Inf or whatever directory you installed XP to. Remove all references to HIDE in the file sysoc.inf to unhide all the hidden stuff in the Add/Remove Control Panel.
