0 [saint lucifer] Posted January 31, 2002 Share Posted January 31, 2002 Go to c:windowsinf and click on sysoc.inf. There you will se msmgs or something like that. In that line you will see ,hide,. Erase the hide between the two commas and save the file. Go to Start->Control Panel->Windows Apps and all the way on the bottom there will be Messenger. HAve fun!

0 Roger H. Veteran Posted January 31, 2002 Veteran Share Posted January 31, 2002 hehe.. damn sometimes people are just lazy.. i don't find that hard to do but oh well.... it's good to have that shortcut too since when you install 4.5 or higher the above method doesn't work anymore.. well for me it doesn't.

0 JodyWatts Posted February 1, 2002 Share Posted February 1, 2002 Originally posted by SouL2kEEp THANK U ! btw : the other way didnt work ! That was the problem I had ... even though I removed the "hide" I still never saw it in the add remove. I tried it a couple of time ... a couple of ways. Oh well ... that command line works everytime! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 mtgriffith Posted February 1, 2002 Share Posted February 1, 2002 I heard that the command line way makes it hard to reinstall it later. Does anyone know if that's true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 mtgriffith Posted February 1, 2002 Share Posted February 1, 2002 I installed it back on my laptop (after running the command line) ... no problem! I'm glad to hear it. Windows Messenger doesn't work with my company's firewall (because we haven't opened the port it requires). We may decide to use it in the future but for now I am uninstalling it on the XP computers.
