annoying messages

[Jay]

How do I disable those annoying grey messages that always
pop up on my computer? I heard that there is a way to
disable it on WIndows XP. Thanks.

Most likely you are talking about the "messenger Service" in Windows XP.

You can just enable XP's built in firewall to stop them. -

and you can also disable the service completely if you wish.

to stop this goto your Control Panel, goto Admin Tools>>Services>>Scroll
down to "Messenger" double click on it, and select "Disable" instead of
Auto. This will fix it for u

both will work.
