ok ok... first of all i wanted to get rid of windows messenger but i couldnt find it on add or remove list... so i decided that i would just delete it from program files.... but now every time i restart computer it says Couldnt find application C:/Program Files/messenger.... blah blah blah so anyways how do i view what my computer does once i start it? cuz i want to delete the windows messenger... please help

Deleting an application is NEVER a good idea. At least uninstall it in the proper way....

You should reinstall Windows Messenger to fix the mess, and you might be interested in: CookieRevised's reply to I am about to rip my hair out over MS Messanger

all i did was rename the windows messenger folder and it stoped it running and then whenever i need it i just rename it back to what it was before

and then will i be able to uninstall it and i would stop getting the message?!

why not just Hide Windows Messenger? in Set Access Defaults Program.  by uninstalling Messager makes the OS unstable.

i shud reinstall then cos its either xp thas crap or the fact i removed windows messenger

He said he wouldn't recommend deleting it, he said to uninstall it.

My Computer > Add/Remove Programs > Add/Remove Windows Components. Untick windows messenger in there, and it will get rid of it, but do not, delete the windows messenger folder.
