Shoot The Messenger allows any Windows NT/2000/XP user to easily stop and disable the unnecessary Messenger Service running in their machines.
Download and run our small (22 kbyte) 'ShootTheMessenger.exe' utility. It will display the current status of your system's Messenger Service. The button near the bottom of its window will allow you to set the service to whichever state ? running or disabled ? that you desire.
If, for any reason, you should ever choose to Re-Enable the Windows Messenger Service, simply re-run ShootTheMessenger to do so.
