when you login to msn you have to option of changeing your sign in status
like you can appear offline if you want, or busy, and all that stuff
but anyway
i think you should be able to make one of them like the defult one so that every time you sign in it will sign in as that status

i know it allready defults to the last one that you chose, but when you just want to sign in once as online then it shouldent change from your defult, but just that one time sign in as online

ex.     you allways sign in as appear offline, but this one time you want to sign in as online, so you change your sign in status as online, but then next time it will sign you in as online,   so with this it will keep it as appear offline if you set the defult to that

get it??

haha i know it sounds confusing

Current way of changing default sign-in status is the most easy, understandable and practical way. I think yours is a very very small detail. I have suggested such tiny things in the past, but I've understood now that those are really small and unnecessary things. Just use the current way.

With all due respect, clicking a drop list and selecting a status once in a while (since you only sign it rarely with another status) is not something I see a problem into.. and I don`t think it asks that much effort.. My point of view; not worth it.

Although this can easly be accomplished with an extremely (rediculus) small script:

(based upon the Remember Status script)

code:

---

function OnEvent_Signout() {
    try {
        new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell").RegWrite(
            "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Microsoft\\MSNMessenger\\PerPassportSettings\\" + Messenger.MyUserId + "\\DefaultSignInState", 0x06, "REG_DWORD"
        )
    } catch (e) {}
}

// Replace the value '0x06' with other values listed below to have other default signin statusses
//   0x02 Online
//   0x06 Appear Offline
//   0x0A Busy
//   0x0E Be Right Back
//   0x12 Idle
//   0x22 Away
//   0x32 In a Call
//   0x42 Out To Lunch
