How to kill Windows Messenger?

[Erik]

Can anybody tell me how to kill Windows Messenger? It always starts up and
tries to connect to the internet. I have removed it from Windows setup in
the control panel under software, I have removed the directory, but still it
resurrects from the dead. Every time the directory is there again, and I
cannot make it not to start. I have unchecked "Messenger" inWindows Services
and still it is launched at start up.

To completely remove Windows Messenger, type the following on the Start, Run
line:

RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\inf\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove

Then hit Enter.

Good Luck,

From the control panel...go to administrative
tools...then to services...scroll down to messenger and
double click. there is an option there to stop the
service. I did this and worked great!
