Comment:

im trying to make a batch file to start the messenger service in WinXP.
I have " net start messenger "
but get
The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it.

is there a way around having to go to services in the administrative tools panel

Make sure that the startup is set to automatic.
