Added "DelayedSignin" registry setting. You can now use this setting to make Messenger wait the specified period of time before automatically signing in when it starts. Some people reported that letting Messenger 7 automatically sign-in after a reboot made their whole computer be very slow, this new simple feature of Messenger Plus! by-passes the problem.

+ What MSN version are you running?
+ Do you receive any error messages?
+ Do you have anything installed such as a plugin/patch?
+ What Operating System are you running?

You can use this setting to make Messenger automatically sign-in after the specified delay (expressed in seconds). Set the value to 0 to disable the feature. To use this feature, you must disable the auto-signin option of Messenger.

Cant it be set in My Preference? If so, it will be much easy and safe for me, 'cause I dont need to change the registry's value by myself. Also, if someone dont know something about registry and make some other changes to the registry, what is going to happen?

- It might be available in the Plus! Tweak, but I'm not sure since I don't use it myself.

- If you don't know what you're doing in the registry and you change something you're not supposed to, almost anything bad imaginable can happen to your system (minus physically blowing up ), including not being able to boot and having to do a re-install (or reformat, even) of Windows.
