RE: Prevent Resizing of Conversation Windows
I don't know if scripting can do that, I've never read the scripting docs.
The way I know to do it is by using skins, if you like the deault one you can use Open Live, then you would just need to change this part, by editing the file SkinInfo.xml, that would be located at program Files/Messenger Plus! Live/Skins/Open Live:
(I've edited to be easier for you:
Green: just comments, as if they have never existed
Red: where you would change
Black: you don't need to bother with them, just let it the way it was.)

For example, if you have a 1440 by 900 resolution, and you want the chat window to always be 1000x500 you would change it to:

In this example the chat window would always be 1000x500. Just choose the ones that you want =)
