(Its in START – Programs – Accessories – Windows Explorer)
From the menu select tools then Folder Options
Select the View tab
Check “Show hidden files and folders”
Select OK
Change into the C:\WINDOWS\INF directory
Right click on SYSOC.INF file and select OPEN
find the following line:
msmsgs=msgrocm.dll,OcEntry,msmsgs.inf,HIDE,7
change it to:
msmsgs=msgrocm.dll,OcEntry,msmsgs.inf,,7
Select File then Save, then File and Exit the program.
Step 2: (Remove it!)
In the control panel double click the Add or Remove Programs Icon
Select Add/Remove Windows Components
Un-Check Windows Messenger.
Select Next
Select Finished!
Bye Bye IM!
