Messenger Service sucks (get rid of it)

JX030389 · Jul 25, 2003

Do you have those bitchy little grey box pop-ups from "Messenger Service"? I know I did, there on every damn computer with Windows Home. For you who don't know how to kill uhm...

Start Menu
Settings
Control Panel
Administrative Tools
Services
Scroll down to messenger, right click it, hit properties, hit stop...

You will never have a damn Messneger Service box interuppting your life again...God I hate those...

Or, you could completely get rid of the messenger by uninstalling it, the tweak is available at www.tweakxp.com and you never have to worry about MSN Messenger again.

Yah, I was simply providing an alternative to adding more crap to my computer, but yah that worx too...

Umm, stopping the service won't do anything, except prevent the messages during THAT logon. You'd have to change it from "automatic" to "disabled" to get rid of the service permanently.

Not MSN Messenger, the Windows Messenger Service.

Oh mistype naphalim is right hit disable, not stop.

Just so you guys know, that service has nothing to do with MSN messenger.

Correct, messenger service is what networked computers use to send network messages. (Those little grey popups) Just like JX said.

I thought it came with Windows XP? At least my copy of XP did. Is that "Corp" version you have something special?

Not all versions, but the *later* versions of SP1 have MSN messenger not installed by default. She is probably using a streamlined SP1 cd to install it (same thing I use), which would prevent you from ever even seeing it unless you specificaly add it.

I don't know why anybody would want that damn thing anyways, its so freaking annoying, not to mention a waste. IMO, MSN is every bit as bad as AOL.
