RE: Auto hide main Messenger contact list window
When I first saw the title of this thread I thought that it mean't autohide contact window like it used to be with ICQ, this is the one feature in MSN Messenger I miss the most compare to ICQ. Basically one could go in options and set a certain time, for eg. 15 seconds, after which the Contact Window would dissapear. The window would popup each time someone logged in (optional) and or if you clicked on the Icon in the taskbar.

The most important reason why I miss this feature so much is, that ICQ upon connecting or starting would have the contact window open (to enable you to see if any contacts are online) and then if you had it set to autohide, the window would dissapear as per the time set in options. In MSN Messenger I don't like the window contact being open all the time, but the only way to stop that is to uncheck 'Open Messenger main window when Messenger starts', which means if there is a contact already online I would not see them. The other alternative is to manually close the window each time, which is a pain. Thus if the window would just open up long if for me to see it and then close, it would be great.
