Ok, well uninstall any plugin/ patches/ skins. Then uninstal msn messenger then restart your pc. And if you want registry keys I dont know what to do and i would not trust myself to tell you infomation about them as i dont myself
I'm not sure if it's a good idea then to delete the msn messenger folder. But when getting rid of your smiles etc i'll do something else. I'll check up on it for you

You uninstall and reinstall to have a clean install.
Passport information in the drop down list is stored elsewhere, you can delete it in the options if you take a look.
If you want to delete the folders with smilies and things in them, try this, goto Start, goto Run, type CMD[enter], type this:
del/s/f/q/a:rsha "%Userprofile%\Application Data\MSN Messenger"
Then logout, log back in on another user and do it again untill you've gone through all the users who have used msn messenger.
