Greetings,
I'm afraid not, the "blinking" is actually done outside the standard Windows taskbar functionality, so you can't for instance use the standard registry key for taskbar blinking to stop this from happening. I do however have another suggestion that might be helpful. Messenger Plus, a third-party addition for Messenger, includes a "boss key" Messenger lock feature which will change the Messenger notification area icon and quickly hide all your conversation windows. Although not the solution you're looking for, it could be helpful in your situation. If you're using Windows Live Messenger, you can find Messenger Plus Live he http://www.msgplus.net If you're using Windows Messenger, you can find Messenger Plus he http://www.msgplus.net/download/old Both have the Messenger lock feature, which by default can be triggered by Alt-space, when the feature is engaged. -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger MessengerGeek Blog: http://www.messengergeek.com Messenger Resources: http://messenger.jonathankay.com (c) 2008 Jonathan Kay - If redistributing, you must include this signature or citation -- "pclip" wrote in message ...
