Another step to get free of those annoying Programs=
Go to C:\Windows\Inf and open the sysoc.inf (be sure that it´s NOT write-protected!) with the editor.
Then delete all entries which are named HIDE.
Close and save the sysoc.inf now. Go to Start -run and type msconfig. Disable alle entries from MSN AND Windows Messenger.
Reboot the computer.
When Windows has finished booting go to Start - Control Panel - Software. then click on Add/Remove Windows components, a new windows pops up.
Disable the MSN Explorer, the MSN Messenger (if it´s listed) and the Windows Messenger and other Microsoft stuff you won´t need to run. You can even uninstall the Internet Explorer now.
Click NEXT and wait till the process finishes. Close all windows.
Download and use http://www.tucows.com/preview/193885.html (Trillian Messie)or http://www.yahoo.com (Yahoo Messie) or http://www.icq.com (ICQ Messie). Trillian is an All-in-one, ICQ the one which is most used in the world and Yahoo is useful too.
Be happy.
NOTE= gpedit.msc is a nearly almighty tool from the MMC. You can even kick yourself out of Windows and never log in again. Be careful, it´s hot like screwing up the Registry directly, because it sets Entries in the Registry.
