You can have separate key combinations for separate MSN accounts, or just disable it for certain accounts.

You could get the people to log in on their account (on either MSN Messenger or Windows Messenger), and disable messenger lock on their account in the Plus preferences, or give them a separate combination. Main Messenger Window > Plus > Preferences > Privacy Protection > Messenger Lock > Disable it from there or give them a special combination and click Ok. This way if they're logged into Windows Messenger it won't lock.

This way if user A is signed into MSN Messenger and user B is signed into Windows Messenger and user A locks MSN Messenger with his combination, it won't effect User B's Messenger session at all, and vice versa if User B locks it.

Messenger Plus sets certain settings for each Messenger account, not for Windows Messenger or MSN Messenger, so you can't have it to do stuff for Windows Messenger and not for MSN Messenger.

Due to the way Plus hooks into MSN and Windows Messenger you can't get it to not work in one or the other. At some point Patchou (the creator of Messenger Plus) may scrap compatibility for Windows Messenger.

Another way, this one is more legal than A-Patch, but both will work. You can use the polygamy feature from StuffPlug-NG. It also has many more features that you may like
