Windows Forum / Windows XP / Windows Messenger / December 2003messenger service
I am want to disable the messenger service. When I open up services the messanger service does not show in my list but I know it is running because I get the pop ups. I have Windows XP Home. Any ideas on how to disable the messenger service? Thanks for the help Phillip Greetings Phillip, Are you sure you're getting popups from the "Messenger Service", like this? http://www.rics.bwh.harvard.edu/faq/popups.jpg If you are, then it should be in the list. Regardless, if you download and run this .reg file: http://messenger.jonathankay.com/downloads/disablemessengersvc.reg Then reboot. The Messenger Service will then be off. If this isn't the popups that you're seeing, could you describe what you're seeing in more detail? ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Messenger/MSN Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com > I am want to disable the messenger service.

The popups are like the one in the link. The PC that I am having problems with is a users PC that I support. This PC is not on our network, but the connected to the internet from the users home. I will run the reg file and see if this clears up the problem. This is the first PC I have ever ran into that does not have the messanger service listed. The user was getting so many popups he could not even browse the web. We change the PC name and that stopped a lot of the popups but he is still getting them. Thanks again for the help. I will let you know if this works.

He said it ran successful but did not stop the popups. He is bringing his PC by this weekend for me to take another look at it. The only thing left that I can think of is to check the registery and verify that there is an entry for the messenger service listed. With Messenger not showing up in the list of services, is there a chance it is not listed in the registery? I will post what I find out.
