I want to turn off Windows Messenger.
I am receiving more than 40 window messeges every 15 minutes and want to turn off and uninstall the entire program.
I have tried the control panel and remove/add delete and it is not working. Help, I hate this program. Thanks. Julie

I want to turn off Windows Messenger.
Greetings Julie,
Before you blame Windows Messenger -- is what you're seeing "popups" with the words "Messenger Service" in the titlebar? If so, what you're seeing is the Messenger service built-in to Windows, *not* Windows Messenger (these are two different things) which spammers are exploiting -- this is not Microsoft, nor can Microsoft control them anymore then they can control spam to your e-mail inbox. 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. Just as a little reminder, make sure you've protected yourself against the latest security issues by visiting WindowsUpdate and installing the security patches: http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com (This isn't related to the Messenger Service in any way, just a reminder) ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Messenger/MSN Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com "julie" wrote in message ...
