RE: [Request] Search from contacts start menu
Ah... that could be done (the DLL itself doesn't need to be changed though; only the script itself. Because you could use the same parameters as the SendTo script needs; the only thing to change is how you would handle those parameters in the script itself)....

However. All that isn't realy needed.

If you have polygamy disabled, you don't need any script at all for this; Messenger already supports it. Simply open Messenger with the following command:
  "C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Messenger\msnmsgr.exe" /sendim
and the 'Send instant message' window will pop up (provided Messenger was already running and you were signed in of course).
Aka, create a shortcut with the above command line and parameter and place that shortcut in your Start menu.
(though, of course make sure the path is correct)

Other similar command line parameters you can use:
  /available    Sets your status to online
  /busy           Sets your status to busy
  /away          Sets your status to away
  /invisible      Sets your status as appear offline
  /signout       Sign out
  /signoutal    Sign out at all logged in computers
  /sendim       Opens the 'Send instant message' window
  /msn            Opens the MSN home page
  /email          Opens your Hotmail inbox
  /profile         Opens your Windows Live profile

;)
