Can anyone tell me how to disable Windows Messenger
Service in XP? Thank you very much.

Greetings Carol,

To disable the "Messenger Service" (not to be confused with Windows Messenger or MSN
Messenger), click Start, then Run, enter "services.msc" and click OK. Scroll down to
"Messenger", select it, right-click and then choose Properties. Under startup type, choose
'Disabled' and then choose the 'Stop' button. After the service is stopped, click OK. Nothing
in Windows or any real third-party applications should be effected by this.
