    Anyone able to asisst me with the area in witch i can prevent MSN automatically logging on other users accounts in XP. I have Administration status (Well you wouldnt think so if you read this so please keep it quite.) but it still allows all users messanger services to be logged on. I would prefer that i was the only log on while i use the computer.

    Thanks for any help. Your all great:D

    Remove Windows Messenger
    ========================

    It seems that a lot of people are interested in removing Windows Messenger for some reason, though I strongly recommend against this: In Windows XP, Windows Messenger will be the hub of your connection to the .NET world, and now that this feature is part of Windows, I think we're going to see a lot of .NET Passport-enabled Web sites appearing as well. But if you can't stand the little app, there are a couple of ways to get rid of it, and ensure that it doesn't pop up every time you boot into XP. The best way simply utilizes the previous tip:

    If you'd like Windows Messenger to show up in the list of programs you can add and remove from Windows, navigate to C:\WINDOWS\inf (substituting the correct drive letter for your version of Windows) and open sysoc.inf (see the previous tip for more information about this file). You'll see a line that reads:

    msmsgs=msgrocm.dll,OcEntry,msmsgs.inf,hide,7

    Change this to the following and Windows Messenger will appear in Add or Remove Programs, then Add/Remove Windows Components, then , and you can remove it for good:

    msmsgs=msgrocm.dll,OcEntry,msmsgs.inf,7
