How to turn off Windows Messanger Service

[Pearl Jammzz]

I think the topic pretty much explains it, anyone know how to do this?

Go to control panel, admin, services, messenger

press stop and put it to disable

Thankee Ice-san...this is the only thingthat I have found that is harder to find then in WinXP...in WinXP you can just right-click on my computer and get to it there, easy aye? But ya, thanks man, appreciate it.

Hah I used to get tons of those and the porn and dating service crap.. Stupid Windows Messenger.

It has nothing to do with Windows Messenger. It's a built in function of Windows itself. I can't remember the specific purpose for it being there, but it's nothing worth worrying about.

Its purpose is to allow broadcasting messages in an intranet, like.. when an admin has to restart a server, he could broadcast a message so that everybody can backup their work

That is the confusing part. There is Windows Messanger and windows messanging. To different utilites with differnt purposes. Yet very similar names. Windows messanging is a real pain. I turned it off on all my 2k or highr machines.

Um... The correct names are Windows Messenger and Messenger Service.
