window XP hides some system software like Windows massenger...but you can remove by these steps-


you said that this is not showing in add/remove program.
Navigate to C:'WINDOWS'inf (substituting the correct drive letter for your version of Windows) and open sysoc.inf.

You will see like that -
"msmsgs=msgrocm.dll,OcEntry,msmsgs.inf,hide,7"

Change this to the following and Windows Messenger will appear in Add or Remove Programs, then Add/Remove Windows Components, then, and you can remove it for good:

"msmsgs=msgrocm.dll,OcEntry,msmsgs.inf,7"

Now you can remove it by go to the Add or Remove Programs in the Control Panel


Thanks
