0 uniqueuser Posted February 27, 2002 Share Posted February 27, 2002 the only way is to delete it manually. its funny how ms say you can uninstall things via add/remove programs when in actual fact nothing happens (ie: ie6 ha! and media player!).:right: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/16040-uninstalling-windows-messenger/#findComment-130955 Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Spyder Veteran Posted February 27, 2002 Veteran Share Posted February 27, 2002 before you do that though..couldn't you just sign up for a new hotmail/msn account to get use of it again?

0 MulletRobZ Posted February 27, 2002 Author Share Posted February 27, 2002 I don't think I'll bother! Hotmail is just too much of a hassle in my case! I'll use Mail.com instead of Hotmail and ICQ and AIM to do all the Instant Messaging!
