re: Question about 'Stop Pop-Up Spam Messages' Thursday, May 15, 2003 at 3:11 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Tracey Rose (38 messages posted) Hi Steve Did you manage to stop the pop up messages. Like you, I tried the following:- Open the Services window (services.msc). Double-click the Messenger entry in the list. Click Stop to close the service. Select Disabled from the Startup type list to prevent it from loading automatically the next time Windows starts. Close the Services window when you're done. and it did not work. Any ideas? Regards.
