re: Question about 'Stop Pop-Up Spam Messages' Friday, May 2, 2003 at 6:23 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Alpha Papa (2 messages posted) Windows Xp users : do this 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. After this, you will never see another pop-up message from the Messenger Service again. By the way this messenger service has no relation with MSN or other chat type messengers..
