| Q. MSN Messenger Service starts each time I log on,
but it isn't in a Startup group. How do I stop it? |
|
A. The MSN Messenger Service places itself in the run portion of the registry as %systemdrive%:\Program
Files\Messenger\msmsgs.exe /background. If you want to remove MSN Messenger Service entirely, use the
Add/Remove programs Control Panel applet. However if you simply want to stop the Messenger Service from
starting, perform the following steps:
Start regedit.exe.
Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run.
Right-click the MSMSGS entry, and select Delete.
Click Yes to the confirmation.
