OK, thanks to some of the information in this thread and other inforfation from the web, I was abl to solve the problem. this is the VBscript:

code:

---

SET msn = CreateObject("Messenger.UIAutomation.1")
if msn.MyStatus=10 then
    msn.MyStatus=2
else
    msn.MyStatus=10
end if

---

and this is how it is launched from AHK:

code:

---

cmd=%windir%\system32\wscript.exe "%A_ScriptDir%\SwitchMSNStatus.vbs"
Run, %cmd%

---

now when i am sitting on my couch watching TV, and people start chatting to me, i can easily "shake them off" through one button press thanks to everyone

regards,
