    Thumbs down Disabling "Messanger Service"

    How many of you have heard of "Messenger Service"?
    Come to find out it is a part of a lot of Windows OSs.
    I am using 2000pro. and it has it. My question is how
    do you disable "Messanger Service"?
    Thanks, August.

    Disabling the messenger service is false security. You need a firewall.
