Off course most services need to be started, they are part of the operating system.

Actually, Windows xp can run with minimal services. Why don't you post the list of services so we can see what you've got? Use export list from services.msc.

As MSN messenger doesn't run as a service you are looking in the wrong place.

Please explain what you are trying to do and we'll be able to help.

Unfortunately MS Messenger has definitely been openly exploited by spammers. You can disable this service via entering the command line > Start > Run > enter "msconfig" & click OK.... Click on the services tab & in the Services list UNCHECK "Messenger". Click Apply & OK & restart your PC. When the PC reboots, a window may pop up stating your startup files have been modified.... If so, just place a check in the "dont show me this message....." and you'll be back to normal (whatever that means) without MS Messenger...
