Running WinXP Pro. Found a tweak when I first started
using this OS that allowed me to get rid of it. Then I
installed SP2! I have gone to Add/Remove programs
and it was NOT listed there. I went to msconfig/startup
and removed the check mark. I went to msconfig/services
and it was NOT listed there either. I went to Control
Panel/Administrative Tools/Services and selected
Messenger. I went to properties and selected "disable".
None of these actions worked! So then I went to the
Advanced Settings in the firewall and first disabled the
Messenger in the "Exceptions" section, and when that
didn't work, went back and completely DELETED it.
I use Start Up Moniter and it flashes a warning on my
screen every 1-2 minutes telling me that Messenger
is trying to register itself to run on start up. How you get
rid of this darn thing?!
