Greetings,

To disable the "Messenger Service" (not to be confused with Windows Messenger or MSN
Messenger), 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.
