var MessengerAPI = new ActiveXObject("Messenger.UIAutomation.1");

This might not work on all machines, and some features (like groups) will not be accessible/may crash wlm.

This will also cause Windows Messenger to run in the background.

I've been working in VB6 all night figuring out the API commands so I could write a DLL to use or something. That seems likes a good solution that you posted, but why does it make Messenger run in the background?

It is a bug in Windows XP where the API, if Windows Messenger is installed, is run because natively Windows XP uses the API for certain features like Remote Assistance.
