Would it be possible to improve the uninstaller so that it terminates msgplus.exe and then deletes the files =/ ? I hate it to restart my system and i certainely hate it having entries removed in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run ...

Me too, but i guess you restart your computer sometime? Mine runs 2 weeks straight sometimes, then i reboot and Plus! will remove it's files. That the files stay there for like 2 weeks doesn't hurt anything. The reason that files aren't deleted before a reboot is to avoid problems that are possibly still in use by other programs/plugins.

As far as i know it only removes it's own entry there, which makes perfect sense.

it did remove all of them on my system.

Well, Plus! tries to delete everything it can but because of the nature of global hooking, I can never be sure that some files aren't locked, even if Messenger is not running anymore. However, the uninstaller does uninstall everything else so appart from a couple of "dead" files that will be deleted at the next startup, everything else is gone, which means that you really don't need o restart immediately except if you need the extra 2Mb of space .

it's just annoying especially if you're going for a reinstall or something =/

Well, if you're going to reinstall Plus!, don't worry about it, it will work just as fine. Files that are locked will be bypassed by creating new ones with altered names.
