Question about 'Stop Pop-Up Spam Messages'

I have a question about Stop Pop-Up Spam Messages:

How do I open the "services window"? It says it's different than the windows messenger (which I don't use), but I have no clue how to open the services window. Where do I go to find that? The rest sounds easy.

Nemyx gives the right command but it does work in home edition
Carefully read Windows XP Home and Professional Service Configurations by Black Viper
before you do any changes to the services

Click on the Start Menu. Then click on search. Click on "All files and folders". Type services.msc in the search area. Open the services file and scroll down to Messenger. Double click Messenger. Click stop to close the service. Then select Disabled from the startup type list. I have had no problems since I did this!!!
