Uninstalling M$ shit

(1/3) > >>

Enmity:
I have Msn Messenger and MS office 2000 crap installed on my W2k (that was when I was ignorant about all the MS shit)
Now that I want to kick the fuck out of them, I can't seem to find a way to uninstall or remove them. I want a PERMANENT way to remove them all, cause I know for a fact that they always leave shit behind without wiping them. Can anyone out there help me?
Ah yes there's also IE6....is there ANY chance that they didn't embed it into my OS? I'd be royally pissed if they did so.  :mad:  If so please tell me how to remove it, too.
PS: I'm talking about Microsoft offshit 2000 SR-1 & MSN messenger 6

You want to remove MiM and still use Hotmail? Don't think it's gonna happen. And you can't disable MiM unless you never use Outlook Express.

cracker:
To uninstall for e.g. MS Messenger, use rundll32.exe with parameters... If You don't know this parameters, then You are simply... LAMER. There is other way to uninstall MS Messenger - AntiSpy.exe...

ignore crackers there, he lives up to his name.

i uninstalled all that garbage simply by wiping windows and installing red hat linux. this method works and will leave you happier on the whole. it comes with openoffice and gaim which are both superior replacements to MS orifice and MSN messmaker. it also comes with evolution which kicks the arse off of lookout express too. plus none of the insecurity of IE will be involved in the default mozilla, galeon or konqueror browsers.

the only advice i can give you if you decide not to install linux instead is to reinstall windows. if i had a windows system and i wanted to uninstall bits of it, i'd simply have linux on another partition, then mount the windows partition under linux and delete all the stuff by hand.

good luck.

This is how it's done in XP, but I dunn 'bout NT.

But it's very possible to remove MSN Messeneger and keep outlook and hotmail.
