I am running MSN Messenger 7 (Beta) with Messenger Plus 3.40 (Beta) on an XP/Home machine.

I want to start Messenger with Windows (no probem) and auto-login at startup (also no problem), BUT I want my status to be "Appear Offline" at login by default.  I know I can defer the auto-login and set status to Appear Offline manually (drop down menu) and then login manually but I want to bypass this.  Any ideas? 

i already asked for that feature here
i am not sure, but maybe the version of messenger discovery (to be released?) which is compatable with msn7 will contain this feature.
just a note: i would nvr trust messenger discovery to run on my pc. please note that this is only a PERSONAL OPINION (maybe this is just a case when sm1 does a mistake and nvr has the chance to fix it)

Only editing the EXE springs to mind, which violates the EULA.

do u know any patch that will do that ?!?!

And a patch isnt any of them

Im not sure but the Jrnz loader should be compatabile with messenger 7.

Thanks for all your help!  I did get some advice in the chat room about Universal Messenger Launcher and have set this up and it is working ok (not perfect and a little messy but works)
