...That won't stop msmsgs.exe though.
To stop msmsgs.exe, you need to disable it from running automatically, or just remove it completely. Links are in my previous post.
But...that is still good advice, overall. There is a lot of crap running on auto in XP which can be stopped & disabled with no ill effect (e.g. Messenger Service, Remote Registry, etc, as you have mentioned).
