Oops, I meant to say "disable windows messenger service"
The following is a portion of the site I previously gave you a link to:
Windows Messenger Service: The Windows Messenger Service is an unfortunately
named component of Windows that cannot be uninstalled. It has nothing to do
with instant Messaging, really, and can almost always be safely turned off.
Here's how:
a.. Right Click on My Computer
b.. Click on Manage
c.. Expand the Services & Applications node
d.. Click on Services
e.. Scroll down to find, and then double click on Messenger
f.. In the resulting dialog box, set the Startup Type to Disabled.
g.. Click on Stop to stop the service immediately.
Now "OK" your way back out, and the Windows Messenger Service will no longer
run
