I know i'll sound like a newb but...
 

If someone can spare a few moments of their time, i am having W.I.N.D.O.W.S messenger startup at the sametime as my system.

it stays hidden though so i cant see it.

I just changed it, lets see if it actually works lol

or you can go to Start > Find > type "msconfig" then click the "startup" tab and uncheck it from the menu and you're set :thumbsup

Okay here is what you do to stop and siable the messenger service the correct way.

1) Click the start menu and choose "Run"

2) In the little box, type services.msc and then press Ok.

3) A program will open up called services. Switch to it.. make it full screen and go down the list untill you see a service called Messenger.

4) Right click on the messenger service and choose properties.

5) A new win.dow will open.. in this win.dow first press stop and then once it stops, choose DISABLED under startup type (its a little pull down menu just above the start and stop buttons.

6) Press Ok, and then close out of the services program and you are DONE.
