Messenger Help

[Chris]

Hello,

Is there a way i can make Windows Messenger more Discreet? I have got it
just right apart from the fact that the thing flashes Orange on a Blue task
bar, as subtle as a brick in the face!

Can i change the colour or the flashing?
Is there a way to change the MSN Icon that shows in the taskbar while u chat
to say an Internet Explorer Icon or a more discreet icon?

I found a program that let me do it but it was a bit hopeless.

Please help me, i hope you can as i have to use this @ work to make sure my
girlfriend is ok when she is @ University.

Thanks,

Chris

Greetings Chris,

Not really -- the "flashing" is based on what Windows is doing. Messenger Plus
(http://www.msgplus.net), has a "boss mode" which changes the Messenger icon to the My
Computer icon, minimizes all your conversation windows, and sets you as busy with one simple
keyboard command (default is ctrl-space) -- you find that useful.
