No Idea.. I wanted to test it but only one friend on ICQ and he's got his messenger disabled and too lazy to turn it on..

I dont know if straight writing "net send bla.bla.bla.bla" will do it, but there must be a way to do it as I was getting pop-ups before randomly every few hours

I can't believe anyone wants it. I'm just two weeks into XP, and I'm still trying to figure out how to kill it. I've even gone into the Registry, but it just repairs whatever damage I do and pops back up. Who said something about "whack a mole?" Or is that just with Mexican food?

Do you mean MSN messenger or the messenger service, they are totally different things. If you mean MSN messenger go to start>run then type this RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\INF\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove

@chilly I dont like user friendly. The more user friendly an app is the less powerfull it is.

He does not need to remove MSN Messenger there is nothing wrong. Like other people said he is having trouble with the net send command. This is how you deal with it the right way (other way someone posted here was totally wrong).

#1 Go into control panels and open the Administrative tools.

#2 Select services - that will open up.

#3 Go down to Messenger (this in not MSN messenger) - right click it and stop the service. It will say disabled. Close the control panel and the popups will stop.

Hope that helps.

To stop MSN Messenger from popping up with Outlook (and other shit like hotmail.com) rename the executable to msmsgs.exe.bak (or anything but msmsgs.exe) or remove the whole program.

If it says it can't close because other services are running (Outlook, hotmail etc) you can still close the program by finding it's process in the task manager (CTRL-ALT-DEL), msmsgs.exe, and click End Process.
