O.P. [Suggestion]Shortcut to main messenger window from keyboard
Is there (or if there isnt im suggesting it) a keyboard shorcut (e.g alt+number) to open the main messenger contact window when its minimised to the taskbar?

You actually can do it easily.

Start>Programs>...>MSN Messenger 6.0>Properties

Set the shortcut key, e.g. Ctrl + Alt + M

Hope this helps. It worked for me :)

It depends what kind of polygamy you are using.

I use MSNLoader, which is a .exe
You can put the file in the Start>Programs and apply the same method like MSN Messenger.

this leads to a related idea:

when the contact window is docked to the right side of the screen, it automatically 'hides' by 'sliding' to the right, off-screen

when the mouse is touching the right edge of the screen, the contact list 'slides' back out

now THAT is useful (i think that's mentioned somewhere before)

interesting... will be very useful, but going off-topic. msg plus has boss protection which can automatically open up msn after being hidden. maybe this can be "upgraded" to be used to open up the contact list window
