This method works great. I use it on ALL of my systems at work. Just be sure to check BOTH windows messenger boxes in “Add Remove Windows Componants” and then you can uncheck them. Works like a charm and is dead simple.

Just clicking the “don’t run messenger” does not stop it from running. I clicked the second messenger several times, but clicked on continue even though it wouldn’t stay unclicked.

IT WORKED. As for the gpedit.msc, that doesn’t work with Windows XP. It returns an error message.

So, this is, so far, the only way I could find to get rid of the little bastard.

I usually just rename the “messenger” folder in Program Files. Works good enough for me.
