Where's the problem with telling them how to unlock Messenger in the same popup? This bit of extra information wouldn't hurt anyone. The user can still remove the shortcut and in any case, he won't see that window again.

Example:
"The key combination you just pressed, which works from any application, is set to lock and hide all Messenger windows.
Once you have done so, you will have to [insert instructions here] to unhide them again.
If you don't want to lock Messenger, click "Remove Shortcut" below and the global hotkey will be disabled in Messenger Plus!."



What could be done aswell, is to show a tooltip when a user uses the Messenger Lock feature for the first time, telling him what happened and how to unlock and unhide Messenger again.
I guess this would be quite useful, especially since Messenger Plus! changes the system tray icon by default.

The problem is that you don't say what you mean in a understandable and clear way, which leads to misunderstandings and annoyance.
I understood your point only after reading through your posts several times, and you can't expect others to have as much patience or time until they figure out what you want to tell them.
(I'm not trying to start a discussion here, just some general advice, e.g. you should definitely try to use shorter sentences, better grammar.)
