re: msmsgs.exe Tuesday, November 4, 2003 at 10:49 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Andy Radtke (1 messages posted) Go to Start/Run msconfig, select startup tab, uncheck msmsgs.exe. This should prevent msmsgs from auto starting up upon a reboot. The next time you reboot you will see a screen saying you are doing a selective start. Check the box to not see again and you are all set. Msconfig is a handy program. You may want to disable other programs from auto starting also. Check it out.
