Windows Messenger

Postby Thon » Sat Mar 04, 2006 1:59 pm

is really starting to piss me off

i formatted with XP Pro, and every time i boot up this damn worthless messenger i never have and never will use starts up.

i ran msconfig, went to startup and took it off. and it doesn't start up the next restart, but after that eventually a new entry is made for it, and it loads up again.

i know it won't bog down my system, but it does get annoying not being able to turn that shit off for good. so i was wondering if there is a solution short of deleting the messenger directory?

Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs -> Add/Remove Windows Components -> Unckeck Windows Messenger -> Fixed

Thon's a worthless cockface not worth the time to explain a simple process to.

Has nothing to do with you, in-fact, I enjoy helping people with their computer problems.

Don't mind Harrison. He is busting his ass on some crusade to show NT how he can be sarcastically Captain Insano funny while attempting Taxx's "fuck you" angle and failing miserably at both.

Pretty much like everything else in his pathetic life.

I succeed at one thing.

I have both of you hanging off of my nuts like a couple of bitches.

Thon got owned and now he's upset because his inpetitude with computers was pointed out to him.

I suggest you click the little "x" on your upper right Thon, before you hurt yourself with the internet. I won't tell you what it does, but I'll let you find out safely under my guidance.

No, because you once again went running to get a picture of me and photoshop it to something. *yawn*

You're hardly hurting my feelings Mr. Anonymous.
