Hi

A program called CCleaner worked for me. You can get it from
http://www.ccleaner.com/

Hope this helps,

Gordy

Greetings,

As already mentioned, CC Cleaner will probably fix you up, but to correctly uninstall
applications, you need to do so from Add or Remove Programs (XP) or Programs and Features
(Vista) in the control panel.

Additionally, you could manually uninstall Messenger without any third party applications by
clicking Start, then Run (if not using Vista) and entering:
msiexec /x {B1403D7D-C725-4858-AACC-7E5FA2D72859}

You can find the other IDs for the other parts of the latest beta applications here on my

Thanks for the Uninstaller tip Jonathan, it worked nicely. I prefer to not
install 3rd party apps just to get rid of something

Cheers,
Dale
