Maybe the info is wrong. But now you know why I was cautious about
removing Windows Messenger.

Man. Some of you people are such idiots.


[snip odd notions]

The reason that you have been given such a load of crap and have not been
told what of that, if any, is correct, is because your first reply to a
respected member of this group was out of line and quite rude. Those of us
who actually know what we are talking about, and there are three or four of
us, including relic, tend to "stick together" in the times we are faced with
pricks like you. We merely leave you to fall victim to the mad warblings of
the peanut gallery then have a good laugh at your impotent expense.
Congratulations, that's what you got.

I won't call you stupid or anything else, because though your post
also is attacking me personally, it is based on something you don't
know about.. I only responded to a personal attack on me.

I would NEVER start up like that with someone, unless they first went
after me.. Never. It's not in my nature. Perhaps relic's reply,
attacking me, was based on my reply to Trollslayer, and relic also
didn't know what Trollslayer had written to me. All three of you have
called me names, or stupid, or whatever, in yoyrv replies to me.. It
all started with Trollslayer's reply to me from another newsgroup::

:---------------------------- begin reply to me
From Tue Feb 17 13:01:00 2004

Would you just remove the ****ing thing already? Enough with
the whiney "is it ok?" You've read the article at dougknox. Do as
it says and remove it or don't. A simple google search would have
told you everything you EVER wanted to know about this. But NO!
You come here and whine.
Now FROAD in the most painful manner possible.

And of course, you know this one from this thread that I just
responded to:

I don't read the Bible - I hear there is something in there about
turning the other cheek. I can't follow that.. I guess I'd make a
lousy Christian...

Why not? You've done it to everyone else.

Stating the facts plainly and telling you that you were left to fall victim

Since when?

Don't you dare deign to tell me what I do and do not know, you supercillious
nitwit.

I only responded to a personal attack on me.

Really? Please explain...

Perhaps it's your weak personality that causes you to blubber excuses like a
child caught being naughty. So, how long have you suffered this propensity
to languor? You are taking stabilising medicines, aren't you? Maybe you're
right. It's not in your nature... when you've had your meds.

Default No way to turn off Windows Messenger - no matter what

Big Mac wrote in message . ..
So, after trying, and trying out a suggestion or two, I have found out
that there is no way to turn off Windows Messenger in XP Home. (We
are talking Windows Messenger, not MSN Messenger. But they use the
same contacts and channels it would seem).

In Windows Messenger, I've unchecked the boxe in front of "Run
Messenger in the Background" and unchecked "Load Windows Messenger
when Windows Starts".

But still, with my friend, using MSN Messenger, sees me as being
online, and can send me a message, which I receive in Windows
Messenger (not in MSN Messenger where he sends it from - I don't have
MSN fired up).

Yes, I could go into the options and remove him from my list as being
allowed to see me if I am online. But, ( # 1 ) will that mess up my
setting in MSN Messenger? Yes I do want him to see me as being online
*if* and only if I fire up MSN Messenger.

And ( # 2 ), that's beside the point. The point is Windows Messenger
is always running and there is no way to shut it off. It is using up
bandwidth from my dial up account.

Guessing he Windows Messenger then must be being used by Windows
XP to transfer information to me, or between Microsoft and me, or
between whoever - like maybe for Windows updates and stuff? (Which I
have shut off - I'll get an update when I hear about it, probably
hear about it here in usenet).

So who has info to enlighten me about Windows Messenger an XP.?


Remove the ****ing directory "C:\Program Files\Messenger"

No it is not. You're just afraid of the answer. Anyway, it's an innocuous
question intended only to determine if you serve a useful purpose, such as
landfill for example.
