re: msmsgs.exe Thursday, May 10, 2007 at 10:21 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Ratznium (1 messages posted) I can confirm: This is what was spawning the great irritation, NAV 2004. There's no entries in any of the autorun locations (if you think MSconfig is even remotely useful, try "Autoruns" www.sysinternals.com ), also the plain old startup is clean too. If you're in a similar situation, and you're unable to stop the offending program from loading (or you simply can't figure out what's loading it) there's always the brute force method. Kill msmsgs.exe using task manager, process viewer (sysinternals.com) etc. then rename the file. I usually rename it to msmsgs.*expletive*. That's the less elegant way, but brutally effective.
