I found it!!
Go down a bit further in the postings and you'll see the
answer. I'll copy it below....the mistake I made was
that I did NOT click the 'STOP' button after disabling it.
"To get rid of these pop ups, you'll need to disable
the "Messenger Service", click Start,
then Run, enter "services.msc" and click OK. Scroll down
to "Messenger", select it,
right-click and then choose Properties. Under startup
type, choose 'Disabled' and then
choose the 'Stop' button. After the service is stopped,
click OK. Nothing in Windows or any
real third-party applications should be effected by this."
