I do not beleive that you can un-install it but you can stop it. Open
Services and change it from "Auto" to "Manual"

Windows Messenger(the AOL IM like chat thing) can be uninstalled, but it is
not related to the *messenger service*. Which are you talking about?

Follow the steps:

If you don't want it or need it or the Alerter Service
Delete it. Most don't, unless you are on a network, other
than your own. The Alerter Service is used on a network to
send virus alerts. You have to be on a network before
either have any use.

To Delete the Messenger Service:

Go to Start/Run/CMD and type in: sc delete messenger.
Reboot.

or

Or go to Start/Run/Regedit and go to this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\
Messengerservice Delete Key. You can export it in case you
want it again,
then delete. Reboot

on the task bar

All I could find was;

"Disable Messenger Service ( pop-up spam )"


Will this inhibit Windows Messenger ??
