Windows 2000, Windows NT, and Windows XP all include the Messenger Service. It'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't need it. Here'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.

easiest way is to go to program files, locate messenger, and rename it to off or messengerOFF or something. when it says it'll make some progs not run, say yes. and ur done

If I am not mistaken the post was about Msn Messenger why the f*ck is everyone posting on how to disable messenger service. There totally different things. One is an instant messengering client and other just sends these gay ass pop ups to you.

Get your facts straight!

listen to the-ninja!

reboot ur system or
go to msn.com and login or
open outlook express or
open MSN explorer (if u have it)

now look in task manager and look for messenger if it came back (very likely it will, cos there are other steps u might need to take)

Thanks for further justifying my point. ;)

lol

[winXPHE]

theres a shoot the messenger smewhere google it. dunno if its for windows messenger or msn messenger. if ur lucky u will find wat ur looking for

[dingoBaby]

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.

[leonidas]

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

[nikita69]

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).

[winXPHE]

yea xplite works wonders. i removed so much crap fm my PC tat the boot time came down to 2secs fm 8secs(i have NAVce, still do) and wat impresses me the most is yahoo media helper scanned my system n i had wmp 0.0(not installed) showing. im using mpc, videolan, bsplayer, winamp & avipreview ;) on xp pro
life has never been better :D

[muchspl2]
