The only idle related Messenger registry value there is is the one which indicates with what status you are going to signin. This is shown and used already 2 months ago in my Remember Status script.

But this is of no use whatsoever to the OP.

Even if you can set a registry value to "idle", that wont do anything good since Messenger does not constantly poll the registry to see if it needs to change the status.
There is nothing in the registry for this.







KnRd_WC, as I said here, although your method has major drawbacks and as such I didn't considered it to be usefull before, there is a way to work around those drawbacks and actually make a working script out of it without any disadvantages (other than it would be version dependant).

also note that the method used is still manipulating the protocol as I said from the beginning!

So for KnRd_WC and others who want it, here is a script which will set your status to idle on demand (without the loss of other statusses and without wrong indications in the contact list!):
