Hi,
I don't use MS Messenger that came with my Windows XP when I bought a Gateway PC.
I went into mscofig and unchecked it so it wouldn't run at start up, but yesterday I must have clicked on something when I was in my Yahoo mail accidently and now I'm getting a pop up every time I start the computer that says:
Window Messenger - Display Name
Type the name you want your contacts to see.
Display name (required)
I checked msconfig again and it is unchecked in startup, and then I came to this forum searched for other Posts, found one that led me to directions to "Disable Messenger MSN, Published By Marc Liron - Microsoft MVP" I followed all the directions given to go into Regedit, but it didn't work, as he said it might not on Windows XP 2.
Soooo can anyone help me? I wish I knew how to undo whatever I did yesterday.

Wow! Tried all the instructions and finally one of them worked! Thanks for these.

You're welcome!

Which one was it?

Sorry so slow to reply to this, but it was the last one on your list Zap Messenger. The other two did not do the trick.
Thanks for your time of this.
