Open the Services window (services.msc).
Double-click the Messenger entry in the list.
Click Stop to close the service.
Select Disabled from the Startup type list to prevent it
from loading automatically the next time Windows starts.
Close the Services window when you're done

does NOT affect youe Msn Im Messenger

Greetings,

To undo a messenger update, you can use System Restore. To do so, click Start, then Help &
Support, then "Undo changes to my computer using System Restore" and go through the wizard to
restore your computer to a previous point before the upgrade.

because the update became part of the system. called ms
today too, they didn't have a clue.
