Question about 'Stop Pop-Up Spam Messages'

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

I simply don't know how to access this "Services Window" in order to then switch off the pop-ups. Could someone just walk me through how to find it, after I've turned the computer on? (I have Windows XP.) Thanks very much. --Chris

Assuming you have configured the taskbar properties to display "administrative tools", you will find "services" in the administrative tools folder by selecting Start, and then All Programs, and then navigating to the Administrative Tools folder. If you do not have such a folder, right click the taskbar and select properties. From there you can navigate your way to a "check the box" list that allows you to display administrative tools in the all programs menu.
