Most users of the Windows XP operating system are sure that the Windows Messenger program, which is a kind of analogue of the well-known ICQ, is completely useless. However, an ordinary user will usually not be able to uninstall this program without outside help. This will require special knowledge and skills.
Necessary
The program for working with files is either a standard "explorer", or, for example, Total commander. You can also use Far Manager
Instructions
Step 1
Although the Windows Messenger program does not consume a lot of resources, almost all Russian-speaking users will prefer to remove this utility from startup. Unfortunately, it is not so easy to do this at first glance. Microsoft specialists took care of this in due time.
Step 2
Let's get started. First, create a.bat file. The name can be anything you like within the system rules. If you are using Total Commander, use the Shift + F4 key combination (create a file) - and in the window that appears, write the name of the file.
Step 3
If you are using the standard explorer, then use the right mouse button to bring up the context menu. Next, select the "Create" item and then select the creation of a regular text document, which you then need to rename.
Step 4
To rename a document in a regular explorer, select the file and right-click the menu, in which you should select the "Rename" item. If you are using Total Commander, then select the file and press the F2 key.
Step 5
The created file needs to be opened and the following lines copied there:
@echo off echo Removing Microsoft Messenger … rundll32 advpack.dll, LaunchINFSection% WinDir% / inf / msmsgs.inf, BLC. Remove echo Disabling it from running in the future … echo REGEDIT4>% temp% / nomsngr.reg echo [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SOFTWARE / Policies / Microsoft / Messenger / Client] >>% temp% / no msngr.reg echo "PreventRun" = dword: 00000001 >>% temp% / nomsngr.reg echo "PreventAutoRun" = dword: 00000001 >>% temp% / nomsngr.reg echo "PreventAutoUpdate" = dword: 00000001 >>% temp% / nomsngr.reg echo "PreventBackgroundDownload" = dword: 00000001 >>% temp% / nomsngr.reg echo "Disabled" = dword: 00000001 >>% temp % / nomsngr.reg regedit / s% temp% / nomsngr.reg
Step 6
Then save the changes you made and just run this file. As a result, Windows Messenger will never bother you again.
