Wrong "messenger" service. The service you describe is for administrative
alerts, not MSN messenger. Disabling this services does nothing for MSN
messenger.

 

Well there isn't really much point, seeing as hard disk space is pretty
plentiful these days and so is memory.

But if you really want to remove it, then one way to do so is to rename the
folder to something else (e.g. from Messenger to Messenger-old). That should
prevent it from starting up.

Also download the startup control panel from this page
(http://www.mlin.net/StartupCPL.shtml) and in all of the tabs, delete references
to the messenger or msmsgs so you do not get any of that 'searching for program'
stuff that Windows usually does when it finds a duff shortcut.

There is a command you can use to automatically remove it from your system but I
cannot remember what it is currently. But if you do the above then Messenger
should not return.
