The MSN Messenger comes with Windows XP and launches on start-up by default. If you don’t plan to use it, you might want to get rid of this annoyance. Unfortunateley the MSN Messenger does not show up in the „Add/Remove Programs“ list. But there’s an easy way to uninstall the Messenger:
Click on „Start“ > „Run“ and then enter this one line:
RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%infmsmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove

its maybe even better to use tuneup utilities. there you can also tune up your performance.
I don’t believe in „tuning“ windows anymore since I read an long article in the German c’t magazine. There is no performance to win but a lot of stability to loose.
I use this little proggi for a long time now and I didn’t have any problems with my pc. But I can’t tell you if there’s any performance won – well actually I didn’t mentioned it. But I still belive that it’s „something good“ for the computer.
kind of simple mindish, isn’t it?!
