Since I don't need Messenger, I have uninstalled it. However, I still have
several ports opened in LISTEN state for the process msmsgs.exe, which runs
at startup. I don't want this process to run which which will close the
associated ports.

The process msmsgs does NOT appear in msconfig, but is is persistent in Task
Manager.

On my other computer which also runs XP (and is setup similarly), I have
neither the msmsgs process, (nor the associated ports open). I'd like to
have my "problem" computer do the same. I have no qualms of directly
modifying the registry, if necessary.
