Have to be a bit careful here because I know that both Juan and Arch13 know alot more about computers than me, BUT....
I believe you guys are referring to the windows messaging service and not windows messenger. I got this quote from the services index for XP "MESSENGER Description: Transmits net send and Alerter messages between clients and servers. This service is not related to Windows Messenger...." I have my messenger service disabled to stop those hacker pop-ups, but still use both windows messenger and MSN messenger for chat and such.
