Subject: Re: [VICUG-L] getting rid of Windows Messenger


Hi Trippy, have you tried the registry?  I have  that too, and when I
first got the laptop I had to sign out of it or else get a lot of spam!  I
get enough of that in my E-mail and don't need any more of t that, but Win
Messinger is just taking up space.
