-or-
 
Edit Windows.inf sysoc.inf: find the line msmsgs=msgrocm.dll,OcEntry,msmsgs.inf,hide,7 and remove hide, so you have msmsgs=msgrocm.dll,OcEntry,msmsgs.inf,,7 then Windows Messenger will appear in Windows Components under Add/Remove Programs.
 
Njoy.

I think someone else here posted that if you delete the Messenger folder messenger crap will go away and I did that and it worked. Is it bad to do it that way?
