I dont follow these forums honestly so I dont know if this has been posted already.

To stop the instant messenger spam that can appear on your desktop is very easy. Just follow these steps

If you are running Windows XP Pro then

Right click on my computer
Click Manage
Double click "Services and Applications"
Double click "Services"
Scroll down the list until you get to "Messenger" then right click on it and click "stop".

Hope that helps :)
 
Or get a router that blocks off WAN pings.

Software firewalls would do the same thing.

/me likes the Messenger service. :p
 
You should also set the Start-up type to Manual or Disabled. It's useful to send server-wide messages telling users of a server reboot and stuff though.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
