RE: Un-installing Plus!2 after installing MP!3
Normaly there is an uninstaller. You need to look for the complete and right name: "Messenger Plus!"...

But since you installed Plus! 3, you wont be able to uninstall Plus!2 with that; it will remove Plus!3 instead...

If you don't have any plugins installed, you can safely delete the Plus!2 folder without any hassle...

after all that, verify that every plugin is working again. Then you can safely delete the old Plus!2 folder...

But if you do have plugins, then it is possible that some plugins are still left there and can't be delete right away. But I thought that plugins were copied to the new Plus!3 directory... anyways, make sure they are all there in the new plugins folder.

If not, then close MSN Messenger completely (right-click on its icon in the systemtray and choose "exit"). Then depending on the plugins, you can move them to the new plugins directory. But there are plugins that you need to unregister first and reregister in the new directory.

So to be safe, uninstall every plugin (or delete it if no uninstaller is provided) and install them again in the new directory...
