my windows messanger still shows in the bottom of my computer wiht an icon and says not signed in when I place mouse over it. I want to rid of it also.. I had rid of it on my other computer but not this one. Isnt there a way to go into control panel, administrative tools, services, and diable "messanger", actually I just looked and mine has been disabled. I guess the icon still shows at the bottom. christy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cris" <cris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, April 11, 2005 7:55 AM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: Problems with Windows SP2 > Or you can follow these instructions to disable it - > > http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/security/learnmore/stopspam.mspx > > I thought that one thing that Service Pack 2 was to do , was > to disable it.
