P Patrick J. LoPresti Jul 23, 2003 #2 Yes. See: http://unattended.sourceforge.net/apps.html#startup-type You will have to install Perl first; you can download it for free from <http://www.activestate.com/Products/ActivePerl/>. (Or you can translate the script to VB.) Invoke it as "startup-type.pl manual Messenger" or "startup-type.pl disabled Messenger" to turn off the messenger service. I do this on all of the machines I build... - Pat

U user Aug 5, 2003 #3 why don't you just turn off the service and don't have it startup. Easiest solution I think -Brett
