OK I've got another problem ! I've just un-installed Windows Messenger, using Add Remove Programs - Winds Components. The problem is its still lurking about. Ok its gone from my system tray and from all programs, but it can still be opened from a button in my Internet Explorer. It's also still left a folder in My Computer - Program Files. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
