okay is it just me or does the msn messenger not have an option to just update to the current 6 version? i went to the messenger site and downloaded the new version since there was no update button and after installing it there was still the old messenger on my system!? i figured it would just overwrite the old one. well since then i've reformatted and want to do it right this time. so how do i get the new messenger without having 2 of them installed?

If you prefer to remove Windows Messenger manually, click Start, Run and enter the following command:
RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\inf\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove
Note: This will prevent a long delay when opening Outlook Express if you have the Contacts pane enabled. To prevent this, click Start, Run and enter REGEDIT Go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express
Right click in the right pane and select New, Dword value. Give it the name Hide Messenger Double click this new entry and set the value to 2.
