RunDll32 advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %windir%\INF\msmsgs.inf,BLC.Remove
This will uninstall Messenger from your system entirely because Messenger does not appear in the Add / Remove panel.
Or you could find and open the SYSOC.inf file found in C:\Windows\Inf (all .inf files are hidden by default so remember to unhide them first in the folder options of windows explorer. So open this file and look for this line: "msmsgs=msgrocm.dll,OcEntry,msmsgs.inf,hide,7" (without the quotes). Delete the 7 from the end of the line then save and close the file.
Then you can open the Add / Remove panel and uninstall Messenger this way. Incidentally this second method shows that other items normally hidden can be uninstalled as well by editing this file

Sorry for the cross post, but I can't remember where I saw this post a few weeks back.
Someone had mentioned a method of disabling the Windows Messenger Service to prevent the pop up windows in WindowsXP and I thought I have saved it into my tips folder, but now that I need to pass it along to someone, I cannot find it. I tried searching back through the messages from the past month, but didn't have any luck. I believe it involved going to RUN and running something from there to do this, but like I said, I cannot for the life of me remember what.
I'd really appreciate it if someone could please send me the method if they can find it.
