How to Remove MSN Messenger?
Follow This Staps:

1rd way:
The following method works in Windows XP Professional, but
has not been tested on a system with SP1 installed. FYI, Ive seen scripts that are
similar to this, but fail miserably, automatically deleting other much-needed
components! Better to do this slow and manually!

1. Exit MSN Messenger by right-clicking the MSN icon in the notification area, and
selecting Exit.
2. Add the following registry entries, both with a DWORD value of 1:

a. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwarePoliciesMicrosoftMessengerClientPreventRun
b. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwarePoliciesMicrosoftMessengerClientPreventAutoRun

3. Open a command prompt by clicking Start/Run, then typing "command" and clicking OK.
4. Uninstall MSN Messenger by typing "rundll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %systemRoot%INFmsmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove"
5. Uninstall the leftover installation information file by typing
"rundll32 setupapi,InstallHinfSection BLC.Remove 128 %systemRoot%INFmsmsgs.inf"
6. Allow MSN Messenger to be displayed in the Add/Remove Windows Components dialog
in the future (if it pops up again!)
by typing "notepad.exe %systemRoot%INFsysoc.inf" and deleting the word "hide" from the
line that starts with "msmsgs=".
It MAY be possible to skip to this step directly and perform the uninstallation directly from
the Add/Remove Windows Components dialog, but that method MAY leave unwanted
components and has not been thoroughly tested.
7. Cross your fingers and reboot! You will probably get a message asking you to confirm the
removal of some leftover files. Click OK.

2th way:
There Is a way to uninstall Messenger cleanly. I dont know if these steps apply for Home version.
1. Control PanelAdd Remove Programs click on "add remove windows components" on the left hand side.
In the box that pops up...scroll down to the bottom and highlight "windows messenger" then UNcheck the box.
2. Hit next and let the uninstall complete. (its not a very obvious un-install) When its, done make sure you
to RESTART WINDOWS! (the messenger icon will still be in the tray if you dont!)

3th way
1. First, right click the Messenger icon in the system tray and click Exit.
2. Right click the Start button and click the Explore command to open the Windows Explorer.
3. In the Windows Explorer, expand the Program Files folder on the partition where your operating
system is installed (the partition that holds the WINDOWS directory) and right click the Messenger
folder and select Rename.
4. Rename the folder to MessengerDISABLED and press ENTER to commit the name change.
5. Restart the Computer. No more Windows Messenger

Thank you....

So often you need to remove comments and blank lines form configuration files.
You can do it in a very easy single step.

#grep -v ^$ file.conf | grep -v ^#

What it does is grep ^$ from your file. You must be saying I dont have any such character in my file. Actually those characters have their own meaning.

^ begging of the line
$ end of the line

So searching for ^$ means you are searching a blank line.
The -v option invert your search.
So #grep -v ^$ matches all the lines except the blank lines.

Again the pipe | sends those match to another grep command which matches any line begging with #. Then -v option again inverts the match giving you all the lines except comment and blank lines.

If you want the output in a file rather than screen then redirect it,
#grep -v ^$ file.conf | grep -v ^# > newfile
