O.P. widescreen and dock
If I have docking enabled, and I dock my contact list to the side, then when I restart my PC and open up the contact list, it always gets moved a bit to the left.

Windows Version: Windows XP, 5.01.2600
Messenger Client Version: 7.0.0813
Messenger Plus! Version: 3.54.0132

RE: widescreen and dock
I used to see my Messenger window being moved over, and I'm running a plain 4:3 monitor (1024x768). It happened for a while, then stopped.
I think, if you do a clean shutdown of MSN, it remembers it was over in the docked position. It'll then recover that position on next running.

Edit: Can people at least see if my suggestion works? And by clean shutdown I mean right-click icon > Exit.

RE: widescreen and dock
try docking it on the opposite side...
what other apps startup when you turn on your computer?
as a last resort, try uninstalling messenger plus!, msn messenger, and maybe even windows messenger... backup and remove the reg. entries too... then reinstall and see if this helps ;) :D

Finally found and fixed, thank you for insisting :).
Just so you know, the normal behaviour when you restart your computer and Messenger is docked is that the window should appear undocked to its original position after the restart.
