Scroll down and look for, messenger, or windows messenger,, until you hear/see messenger 6. Press the applications key,up arrow and enter on properties 7. tab until you hear/see, StartUpType, down arrow until you hear, disable 8. Now tab and enter on okay button Now, you may have to alt+f4 to close everything. I believe this should work. you still should be able to use the program, but, it shouldn't start up automatically. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ch.B." <chr1...@gmx.de> To: <blind-computing@jaws-users.com> Sent: Wednesday, December 16, 2009 4:31 AM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] scripts to uninstall windows messenger Just go ahead and disable windows messenger in 'services'. Go to start, then system, type in services in the search field there, go to local services. Tab down to windows messenger and in the drop down box choose 'deactivate' Then it won't start up again. --- Happy chanukah everyone!
