O.P. 'add this contact?' prompt appears when Locked
When using the 'Messenger Lock' feature to minimise MSN requiring a password to re-open, the prompt asking to add or block a new contact still appears on the screen. This is an issue when multiple users use the computer, as it is possible to add/block new contacts on an account that is locked.

While locked, occasionally a button appears in the taskbar as would normally occur when having a conversation window open, but the window cannot be opened as messenger is locked. It makes it possible to view a contact's nickname in a locked account.

These two issues seem to undermine the security of the Lock feature.
