I know there was a post about this before but I cannot find it. Can someone tell me how to stop the spam from messenger?

Various methods.

---------------
Open your registry editor by typing 'regedit.exe' in the 'Run' command in the Start menu.
Find the key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Messenger]
Change the value of "Start" to "4" to disable the Messenger service.
Restart Windows for the change to take effect.

Thank you! Mr Knob (if any of y'all remember him) sends out a big thank you!
That seems to have done the trick!
