Remove Windows Messenger
One of the minor but still pesky things about Windows XP is the default Windows Messenger that automatically starts when you boot up your computer. With all the new messaging software available such as Skype, Yahoo Messenger and Meebo, you really don’t need Windows Messenger sitting useless on your taskbar eating up precious resources.
Here’s how to give it the boot.
On your Windows XP machine, click on Start > Run
On the text box paste the line below:
RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\inf\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove
So that it looks like this:
Then click OK.
You will see a quick window near the top left of your screen which signify the files involving Windows Messenger going into cyberspace heaven, where all good deleted files go. After this, no more useless Windows Messenger in your PC or on your task bar.

yep, there’s a whole bunch of other stuff we really don’t need on our taskbar, and even more stuff that’s running that we don’t even see. I’ll try to come up with more stuff like this for you.
