I want to be able to start Windows Messenger 4.7 and MSN Messenger 6.1 as *offline*
#1
Apr 6th, 2004
I want to be able to start these offline, so others don't see the automatic *x has signed in* messages and then I can choose whether or not I go on-line, or block or whatever. This would be useful at home on MSN6.1 but even more useful in work Windows Messenger 4.7
I have tried MSN Plus, but that doesn't seem to give this availability either...
Can anyone give any ideas as to how I might acheive this please?
thanks

go into the options menu. next to the "start with windows" check box you should see a check box for "sign in automatically". If not look around its in there somewhere.

Sorry, I obviously didn't make myself very clear - starting MSN isn't the problem - but I Want to *appear offline* when I am running - rather than alert people that I have logged in, and then chosen to not be on etc. Does that make more sense?

Sorry...apparently the people that made MSN do not want you to login as "appear offline" but that is for a good reason afterall, because everyone would want to login as offline and it defeats the purpose of the messenger program.

Maybe you should consider upgrading to Window live? I have windows live and I can sign in as offline, and talk to one person, without any of my contacts but that one know I'm appearing offline. I am also resonbly sure that this works with the verson below window lives aswell.

Hi
Before you log on exit MSN Messenger ..right click on the icon bottom right and exit
Then if you want to chat open MSN Messenger from program file log on see who is online and change your status to offline and then select the person you would like to talk to.... Hmmmm why are you hiding ? If you dont want that person in your contact list just delete the contact.
