O.P. Settings Password Protection
How about adding a feature so the settings for msgplus cannot be changed without a password? I wanna keep log files in particular but not allow anyone to turn it off or change the path.

RE: Settings Password Protection
You will only be able to edit your settings from the Plus! menu in MSN Messenger when you're currently signed in with that email address. Basically, it means that a password is not necessary: if he'd have access to the settings panel, he'd also be signed in with your address.

Well, other users have to sign in with your .net passport account so that they can change your Plus! settings. That is, if they don't have your .net passport password, they theoretically can not modify the Plus! settings which are associated with your .net passport account:)

Yeah but I am not talking about my settings. If I am logging someone else's conversations for tracking purposes, I dont want them to be able to change the settings for the logging.

And that's the matter of other people's privacy - are you sure you may do this?

Patchou, that would be excellent. The only part I am concerned with them changing is the logging. MsgPlus! is just a great addon, and I think having a password to control those settings would make me feel a lot safer. Always worry about kids these days on the Internet. I have a 10 year old daughter, cant help but worry.
