Tweak #1: Turn Off Windows Messenger For Good
Have you tried to disable messenger, but it still shows in the system tray icon every now and then? If so, this next tweak is for you. To completely turn off Windows Messenger: 1. Go to "Start", the "Run" 2. Type in "RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\INF\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove" and press enter 3. Restart and you'll never see Windows Messenger again! |
