RE: Odd Behavior - Windows Messenger Service

["Bojan Zdrnja" <Bojan.Zdrnja () LSS hr>]

Well,

I don't actually see a point in this.
If a service like that starts before login that's fine - it's the design and
you have to live with it.
If the service bothers you, disable it.

As far as I know, safe practice should make you disable absolutely
everything you don't want or need *before* connecting the machine to the
Internet.

I don't believe you will install RedHat 6.2 on the machine, go away for a
coffee while letting it sit on a login screen and return and find it like it
was :)

Just my 2 euro cents ..
