WOW, thnx, thats even better than i had thought....... finally rid of the worst program since windows............
It seems like someone asks this same question everyday, there has to be a way to tell ppl not to ask this and have the answer posted somewhere they can access easy.
Just remember that the Messenger Service has nothing to do with Windows Messenger.
I disabled messenger service last time.. and it didnt work.. then my friend gave me some reg key to delete windows messenger and then those messages never came up anymore

I can't believe people charge for programs like this. :o You can disable the messenger in Windows without a program for free.Quote:
