I reinstalled a copy of Windows on my other computer and like clockwork I remove the junk from the installation. One of the things I like to permanently remove is MSN Messenger. Personally, it’s annoying and serves me no purpose. With this tip you can quickly uninstall MSN Messenger with total success!

How to Uninstall MSN Messenger

1. Ensure MSN Messenger is completely closed out, and exit from the system tray icon. Alternatively, you can end the process “msnmsgr.exe“.
2. Click onto Start Then Run
3. Next, simply copy and paste this command:
   RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\INF\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove
4. Finally, click OK. Wait a moment for it to finish. Reboot to verify it’s uninstalled.

Want to reinstall MSN? Never fear, Microsoft definitely has that option. Just navigate to Microsoft’s MSN Live Messenger website and redownload it.
