i think if ...
you hook the windows API Shell_NotifyIcon() and check if the first param of the function is NIM_ADD which adds and icon to the system tray
@ Patchou
why not post the message for the boss protection so that plugins can use it even though msn has not been signed in yet ?
ps. i dont understand why you need to wait for a change in the tray area.
If it is in order to get the icon id and staff you can doit else how... you can find it from reading the taskbvar toolbar
Also the icon id is always 40046 for MSN Messenger 7 at least...
