progress so far:
I have trouble deleting c:\program files\msn gaming zone
It has a subfolder 'windows' which seems empty but starting up in safe mode there are several files there.
I can delete them but after reboot they are back.
More people are having this problem:

I tried the solution from that thread but the folder is still there.
I will first try to get rid of that folder before I install anything msn again.
I can't get rid of that folder.
Tried this

and this

Booted a second time into safe mode, this time there were no files in that folder, deleted the folders, rebooted, and back they were.
I'm gonna reinstall windows next week.
On an afterthought, it could just be that this is one of microsofts quirks. The same as with 'c:\program files\xerox' and 'c:\program files\microsoft frontpage' which also seems undeletable.
FWIW I have msn and msgplus nstalled again at the moment. Did not have any trouble yet, but that friend is not online and I had this only with her...
See how things go..
