MSN window pops up every time my computer wakes up from stand-by mode by hkBattousai on 02-12-2011 at 05:00 PM
I think the title explains the problem. When I resume my PC from stand-by or hibernation, the main window of MSN comes to foreground. I fed up at closing it every time I open my PC. This behavior may be due to connection loss.
How do I prevent the window becoming visible? I just want MSN to silently reconnect at the background.
MSN version: 2011 (Build 15.4.3502.922)
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x64 (up-to-date)

You can try to start Windows Live Messenger with the /background parameter. But that parameter will only work if you also have enabled the option "Open main window when Messenger starts". For more detailed info see: CookieRevised's reply to Problem with WLM2011 when booting up computer
This said, I don't know if the behaviour of that parameter in combination with the startup options of Windows Live Messenger, is the same under Windows 7 as it is in Windows XP though. Especially since the taskbar and system tray in Windows 7 behave much differently than in Windows XP.
