Following the other topic re Tabs on Messenger, is there anyway to remove Messenger from XP completely?

Personally, I hate the little ******

Click on the Start button and select Run. Type
"RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\INF\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove" in the text box and click OK.

You will see a progress bar appear shortly as it deletes its files and it will then ask you to reboot. After the reboot the program will be gone.
