2nd Ranger 1 Posted September 7, 2003 Share Posted September 7, 2003 I could tell you... I don't know if this is how it is for anything other than XP, but; Control Panel, Administrative tools, Services, scroll down to Messenger and just turn it off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'll have to do some digging to find out for ME/98. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Specter 0 Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 Yes, it will. That service is a Windows service, and in no way related to MS Instant Messenger. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Recon 0 Posted September 13, 2003 Share Posted September 13, 2003 I had an annoying message coming though the messenger thing for a while, until I deactivated it. How do these people/companies 'find' you? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
