Well, since he says "How do I turn off the "Windows Messenger
Service." which is causing annoying pop-ups?", I suspect he's referring to
annoying pop-ups that are displayed by the Windows Messenger Service. You can
turn off the BaloonHelp (oops, that shows my age!) by using registry entries
documented by Microsoft in the KB.
