Starting a service... (Messenger)

[cookie_monster]

Yes if you set it to auto "sc config messenger start= auto" then it should start on next boot.

Soz I hadn't seen ahuxham's post.

am i being silly in suggesting net start ???

The service has to be configured changed from disabled to start automatically before net start could start the service.

Of course, once it's set to start automatically a reboot will start the service.
