| Windows 2000, Windows NT, and Windows XP all include the Messenger Service. It's |
| enabled by default. Messenger allows system admins to send little messages to everyone |
| on a network, alerting them when the server is going down. The service makes a lot of |
| sense on a corporate network, but home users don't need it. Here's how to disable it: |
| 1. Right-click My Computer and click Manage. |
| 2. Click Services and Applications. |
| 4. Scroll down to Messenger and right-click the entry. |
| 5. Click Stop to turn off the service and choose Disable as the Startup Type. |
