O.P. Messenger Plus installs 2 File folders....
I've just installed Messenger Plus 3 again, due to a reformat....just doing a sweep of the uninstalled files from Windows update, and I noticed that in my Program files folder, Messenger Plus has created 2 files...(see screenshot) Is there anyway to determine which is which without uninstalling Messenger Plus?

Both of them have files related to Plus in them...not sure which to delete without messing up Messenger Plus....

I've already mentioned this and it is because you now need to reboot before it deletes the other folder because of security reasons...

Ugh....simplist answers to the most stupidest questions.....my bad...even though I asked if there was a way around this without uninstalling it because to quote Willie from the Simpsons

I don't want to mess with it again :(

Eh...oh well...I'll quit my whinin and try that I guess....

Thanks :)

my bet is that the "MessengerPlus" without spaces is the good one. Just delete the other directory, you wont break anything anyway :).

best way, go into each directory when ur using msn messenger and try and delete msgplus.exe or whatever, the one that deletes without saying "This Program is in Use or this action is prohibited" or w/e, will be the one thats useless ;).

Obviously, that would be the way, which worked by the way, and the one that was deleted was the one without the space...many thanks to both you and Patchou
