Windows Messenger Service

You have to have this service enabled on your pc to be able to send "Net Send" type messages to others. So, would it be possible to code a program to go into the Services and turn on the messenger service instead of doing it manually?

You can make that it start automatically when windows start. Or run this command "net start messenger" to start it. This command will not work if the service is disabled.

You can use the windows Service Controller program to enable services. I think the command is something like:

markupsc config service_name start= demand

is there any way I can make the service un-disable itself and start too?

sc config messenger start= demand
sc start messenger

That should do it.
