I just found out something else that might help: when I max out my
windows in the taskbar (still having those 2 annoying windows up!),
they get that look where it stacks both of them in the same listing in
the taskbar. The name of the listing is "svchost". I am not familiar
with editing the registry, but I believe that it is coming from that.
If anyone can help me out, I would really appreciate it!!! Thanks in
advance!!!

Do you have some type of firewall (software or hardware) in between
you and the Internet? This might be a Windows Messenger Service "pop-
up" that would be blocked with a firewall.

Also, if you have connected to the Internet without protecting this PC
(anti-virus, firewall and anti-spyware), you many now be infected/
infested with viruses/spywares/malwares. You will need to clean up
your system.
