Typically, the ones in the Add/Remove programs are the only ones you should remove, especially if it's windows XP. In some cases, if your go to Start/Programs and arrow over to the program you see, sometimes there is an uninstall there, but the one in Add/Remove really works better.
This is different than programs, when uninstalled, leave "residual" files. Norton is exceptionally notorious regarding this. Some times after uninstalling, you can go to Start/Run/Msconfig and you can turn residual files off by unclicking the box (usually their hidden in the registry). As far as I know, almost all computer files today should be installed and uninstalled properly. Older computers, like 95 and 98 may install slightly differently. Hope it helps.

Try "Add/Remove Windows Componants". Its in the same screen, the button is on the left side. Messenger is in there, and some other stuff too.
