In order to disable MSMessenger you enter file SYSOC.INF in the folder
Windows\INF(both of them in Hidden status) ,open this file with Notepad,then
go to row msmsgs=msgrocm.dll,OcEntry,msmsgs.inf,hide,7 and delete the word
"hide",save file and reboot PC,then go to Control Panels - Add and Remove
Programs – Add/Remove Windows Components,now MSN Messenger will appear in
the box and you can uncheck it.
