Dear Friendss,

A close friend of mine who is quite the compter guru, and also 13

days away from being allowed to be an offical memeber of this list

has been lurking and reading postings here for awhile. He asked that

guy and Im looking forward to his fkinally becoming an active vocal

I can't post to the Graduate list yet (another 13 days), but I have a

solution to those people having problems with the pop-up utilizing

the Messenger service of Windows 2000.

1) Start Menu...Settings...Control Panel

2) Double-click on Administrative Tools

3) Double-click on Services

4) Double-click on Messenger

5) Change Startup Type to Disabled.

6) Click on the Stop button to stop the currently running service.

7) Click on the Apply button.

8) Click on OK.

The Messenger service of Windows 2000 (not to be confused with AOL

Instant Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, etc) will not be started at boot-

up time and this will stop these type of pop-ups.

Earthlink offers Total Access 2003 which blocks spam and pop ups.

It's kinda cute...your curser turns into a little fist and makes

a " pop " sound when it blocks a pop-up then returns to the curser.
