If you want to remove MSN Messenger from Windows XP and can't seem to find it in the Add/Remove Programs. You need to edit one file to have it displayed in Add/Remove Programs. There is a couple ways to uninstall MSN Messenger. One way is too run this command from Start | Run.
RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\inf\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove
Another way
Search for sysoc.inf. It should be located in the C:\windows\inf\
Edit the file with notepad.
Remove the word hide. Save the changes
Open Add/Remove Software.
Click on Add/Remove Windows Components and you can remove MSN Messenger. There is two services to remove everything.
You can now remove both services. They have a bug with the check boxes but it still works.
