The windows messenger service, not the windows messaging program similar to
msn can't be uninstalled to my knowledge, it can only be disabled. i can't
see any reason why you'd ever want to enable it again unless you actually
like getting spam messages pop up on your screen? but again, if you disable
the windows messenger service, it won't effect windows messenger, msn
messenger or any other instant messaging program. Microsoft should really
have come up with a different name for their clients because it causes so
much confusion as was displayed today.
