Unwanted MS Messenger
My sister just bought a laptop with Vista installed, and each time she goes
into Windows, Messenger starts up, blocking her screen. She does intend to use this app. I am familiar with how to get rid of it on Windows XP, and tried to talk her through it over the phone, as she lives quite a distance from me, but according to her the Add/Remove Window components does not appear on the Control Panel screen. Is there a way to remove this program? |

She needs to use Control Panel's "Program and Features" Is there a way to remove this program? If she intends to use the program (as per what you wrote above) why remove it....just use the preferences (options) menu to disable it from starting up when her system boots. |
