One thing that uses of WinXP will notice is that ****ed annoying Windows Messenger program, that always seems to be running no matter how many times you close it, you know the one Mr msmsgs.exe lol
Well here is a little VB2005 source to a console application i wrote to rid my pc of Windows Messenger for good (i mean how many people actually use it these days anyways ?).
Credits: Me lol
Microsoft (for creating Windows Messenger for me to kill lol)
Note: This application assumes your main root directory is C and thus attemps to kill *** files from there, the next version i release will actually delete them no matter what named drive you use.
Code:
Imports System.IO.File Module WinMesKiller Sub Main() Dim Acco As New KillWinMes Acco.KillProc() Acco.KillFiles() End Sub End Module Public Class KillWinMes Inherits Methods Public Sub KillProc() 'End all running WinMessenger processes. ProcKill("msmsgs") End Sub Public Sub KillFiles() 'Delete all WinMessenger EXE's and DLL's. 'TODO: Delete the Messenger Directory. IO.File.Delete("C:Program FilesMessengermsmsgs.exe") IO.File.Delete("C:Program FilesMessengermsgsc.dll") IO.File.Delete("C:Program FilesMessengercustsat.dll") IO.File.Delete("C:Program FilesMessengermsgslang.dll") End Sub End Class Public Class Methods Public Sub ProcKill(ByVal procName As String) 'Method for ending a process. Dim proc() As Process = Process.GetProcessesByName(procName) For Each p As Process In proc p.Kill() Console.Beep() 'Beep if a process is ended. Next End Sub End Class
