You have to have the latest version of messenger downloaded. Once you have
that part complete, open up the new Messenger, and right ontop of where it
says sign in - there is a drop down arrow that currently reads online - drop
down the arrow and make your choice - Appear Offline is probably what you
what - then, sign in and you will be online buy showing as offline.

Greetings,

Windows Messenger doesn't have this capability, you'll need to use MSN Messenger 7.x+ above
for this:
