Well, the other thing is that I actually use MSN Messenger. I can actually load another instance of MSN Messenger at the same time with a different login and still have that one going. However, in the Task Manager, that is called "msnmsgr" as opposed to "msmsgs" (the latter being the hidden one).Vertigo1 wrote:Dude, I'd check to make sure it isn't something nasty. Re-name the Messenger folder in Program Files and see if it goes away next time you load windows just to be sure.

YOu'll have to look at those programs settings, wether they're tagged to automatically start with Windows. Then there's the Autostart folder. And then you can look run msconfig (just type it in the "run" command) and look what's there in the autostart options...verilon wrote:Well, is there any way that I can prevent that (and about 15 other things) from popping up in the Task Manager when they have no use?

Start > Run > msconfig
So now msmsgs.exe is no more.sorry late post, but thought I best post the link. It holds a list of nearly all processes imaginable.http://www.answersthatwork.com/Tasklist_pages/tasklist_m.htm wrote: Msmsgr MSMsgr.exe
(Microsoft) Windows XP Messenger & the current version of MSN Messenger (effectively a newer incarnation of MSN Messenger below - MSMSGS).
Recommendation :
Down to end-user preference. You can disable it in the same way as MSMSGS below.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Msmsgs Msmsgs.exe
(Microsoft) MSN Messenger Service tray application.
Recommendation :
Disable or Delete with Startup Manager if you do not use the MSN Messenger Service. Alternatively, you can go into the "Tools \ Options \ Preferences" menu option within Messenger and uncheck "Run when Windows starts".
