You know what? I think I saw msn or messenger running as a service or something on my XP-home box. I recall taking it out of startup with ms-config or in the Services List.

There is a service called Messenger but it is not MSN Messenger...

Here is what MS says about it

Messenger—sends and receives messages to or from users and computers, or those transmitted by administrators or by the Alerter service. If disabled, Messenger notifications cannot be sent to or received by the computer or by users currently logged on; NET SEND and NET NAME will no longer function.

I believe messenger runs if you ask to have critical updates auto installed. It also runs as part of Outlook 2003 mail check.

Lead me not into temptation... I know the short cut, follow me.
