Because MSN Messenger is made by Microsoft, that feature is embedded into the code and there is no "normal" way of doing what you are wanting. However, if you will download www.msgplus.net (Messenger Plus) it will give you that feature plus a ton of others. As a side note, most scanners will detect Messenger Plus as spyware, but it is not, it is mainly because it is going around some Microsoft code.

sweet it works for me too
but one question, is there a way to set it up to open a new window? Instead of using an existing one?
its a real pain to want to check your mail, and it uses your current window of the OC forums, to log into hotmail...a real pain.
and if i have to open up a new window, i might as well just tpye the url in, because thats the whole point of having this thing to begin with.

I don't know about the 'new window' issue, some apps do it, some don't and sometimes it drives me crazy,

Ok, to get a new window to open up, in FireFox go to Tools - Options - Advanced. There will be a subheading of "Tabbed browsing" underneath that will be the option of "Open links from other applications in" and select 'new window'.
