Windows 2000, Windows NT, and Windows XP all include the Messenger Service. It&#39;s enabled by default. Messenger allows system admins to send little messages to everyone on a network, alerting them when the server is going down, ect. The service makes a lot of sense on a corporate network, but home users don&#39;t need it. Here&#39;s how to disable it:


1. Right-click My Computer and click "Manage".
2. Click "Services and Applications".
3. Click "Services".
4. Scroll down to "Messenger" and right-click the entry.
5. Choose "Properties"
6. Under "Service status:" click STOP.
7. Under "Startup Type:" choose DISABLE
8. Click OK.

thanks thats wat i needed... [/b][/quote]
The messenger service and msn messenger are not even related, get your shit straight.

Tweak XP Pro has an option to disable Messenger, if you are running XP. I used it because every time I would open Outlook Express the stupid messenger icon would pop up on the sys tray.

If you wanna exterminate it, use XpLite.
The easyest way.
You can destroy many other crap buildin winXP programs.

soon we won&#39;t have to worry about it, by early next year, look for a new copy of xp. cos m&#036; decided to disable windows messenger and enable the ICF (about time).
