but glad u got it fixed

You make it sound so easy to search but what if you don't know what your looking for?
I had same problem a few weeks ago but cause I didn't know exactly what it was I was searching for I just typed "Disable messenger pop-ups" and the result was "Sorry no matches found"
Ended up asking somewhere else and was told what it was.

Just search for "messenger" and it will come up with pages of answers, all basically saying that you need to disable the messenger service using services.msc and that it won't change the way msn messenger works, as they aren't the same thing.

We should just put it as a sticky article on the front page. (I actually don't think that's a bad idea )

Microsoft really ****ed up with their naming scheme on this one.. idiots.

Blame it on Microsoft, because people can't use a search engine.

ok guys...it's allright not to use the search button

the way I see it, just about every issue with xp has been addressed on this board.

if everybody used the search button, I'd be out of a job, and then I wouldn't be able to pay my rent, would I.

ok mafia

hit the windows key+r

type "sevices.msc"

scroll down to messenger, and dissable

hit apply

I hope that works for you.
