go in the Preferences panel. Select "Boss Protection". Click on the icon displayed in the lower right corner of the window. Select the path of the image you want to use as the new icon, then click OK. Note that the image must be a valid icon file with a valid tray-icon size.

am i wrong or 32*32 isnt the size of the tray-icons?

im trying to use the Kazza Icon witch is

%SystemDrive%\.........\Program Files\Kazaa Lite K++\klite.ico

it is a valid .ico file but still the picture in the Boss Protection part still looks like the my computer icon

I can set the klite.ico icon

[list=1][*]Go to the main Messenger window (contact list)[*]Click Plus! and go to Preferences[*]Go to the Boss Protection section[*]Click the computer icon[*]Click the Browse button (the three dots)[*]Browse to the klite.ico file and double click it[*]Click OK to close that dialog window[*]Click OK to close the Preferences[*]Enter Boss Protection mode and look at the icon[/list]
This should work

ok i got it to work

is it possible for the new one to have a feature so that it appears that you are signed out and it also says MSN Not siggned in or what ever it says when your not logged on instear of Logged In (Busy)

There is an option to choose the status you have in Boss Protection mode; you can set it to Show Offline.

but i mean like the sign our icon and say MSN Not Signed in cause what i got justnow isnt fulling my dad

You mean you want a signed out icon? I attached one.
You cannot change the tooltip.

You can already have it so that the image is correct...extract that .ico file in Tochjo's post somewhere and do what Tochjo said earlier...just browse to the extracted .ico file...but it won't change what is said when you move your mouse over the icon to say "MSN Messenger - Not Signed in" perhaps sometime Patchou will add the ability to choose what is said when your mouse is put over the icon...but not now...
