I was testing out some of the Messenger Plus! features as I'm still new to it. I saw the "Messenger Lock" button and decided to click it out of curiosity. Once I did, however, all my Windows Live Messenger programs closed themselves and I haven't been able to open it since then. I'm not sure what I did and I have no idea what I'm supposed to do now. I've tried to reopen Windows Live Messenger, but it won't let me. Please help!

If you locked your Messenger by accident and don't know how to get it back, look for a new icon in your notification area (bottom right; by the clock). It usually looks like a grey disk with tubes/pipes underneath. If you hover your mouse over it, you will see 'Windows Live Messenger'. If you still can't spot it, here's how it should look like: -- Double click this icon to bring your Messenger back. If that doesn't help hold "Ctrl" while you double click

PS: if you happen to have Windows 7, then the icon will look like a magnifying glass (by default).
