Risico Messenger is a MSN Client that requires no installation.
Excuse me, but the first thing I see when I run the program is:
This will install Risico Messenger. Installation will NOT be visible to Administrator. Do you Agree?
yeah right
Furthermore, what is it? Well it is nothing more then the original version of MSN Messenger 6.2.0205 executable, with msglang.dll (dutch version), msgsc.dll and custsat.dll... all original files.
I can tell you already 1 thing:
This will not work on all systems. MSN Messenger needs far more things to be installed to work properly. If MSN Messenger is installed on your system it does not only install those 4 files, but installs a whole lot more...
Also, all the registry settings will still be placed and used in their normal locations. Again far more locations then you think...

Risico Messenger is a full version of MSN Messenger 6.2.0205 in dutch, however all the menu items and buttons are in the same place as in the english version - so any non dutch speaking old school messers shouldnt have a problem!
DUH!
Like I said, it only consists of 4 original files of the original MSN Messenger setup (which normaly consist of more then 20 files needed!). And of course everything is in the same place; it isn't modified or anything. They make it sound like a feature or something special or so. Don't be fooled!
You can just as easy copy and use those 4 files to your USB pen drive or whatever and it will be EXACTLY the same and behave EXACTLY the same as this "special" MSN Messenger... (meaning: on some system it will cause more errors then anything else because MSN Messenger wasn't installed properly).
Am I surprised and do I find this "new" messenger cool? Not at all in the slithest way. This wil cause more errors then it will do good. And I'm VERY surprised that this is on mess.be news...

So, to answer the questions:

There is nothing special about this "Risico" Messenger... Just copy those 4 files which I listed above from your own messenger directory and you will have EXACTLY the same.

Since there is nothing special about this "Risico" Messenger; it is simply a copy of the original MSN Messenger, it uses all the keys like Messenger normaly would.

By removing the files. BUT! every registry key used by MSN Messenger will still be in your registry!
