how do you turn off windows messener in xp home?

[Richard Maloley II]

You can always use the Group Policy snapin for the MMC to disable it from
even running, or if you wish to uninstall it then follow these steps:

Start -- Run -- C:\Windows\Inf\sysoc.inf
<ctrl>+<h> -- type in "hide" (no quotes) and tell it to replace all.

Exit, then go to Add Remove Programs -- Windows Components. Find Messenger,
uninstall it.

Simple. Google helps a lot in this situation.

Are you talking about the instant messaging program or windows messenger
service? Two different things. This page might help.
