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.

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

1. Go to the main Messenger window (contact list)
2. Click Plus! and go to Preferences
3. Go to the Boss Protection section
4. Click the computer icon
5. Click the Browse button (the three dots)
6. Browse to the klite.ico file and double click it
7. Click OK to close that dialog window
8. Click OK to close the Preferences
9. 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 know, I'm having the same issue with boss protection all of a sudden.  Of course I checked that it was enabled and still configured properly... I then re-installed plus!   It still doesn't work!  Any thoughts?

I have a idea that works for me. Shut down MSN entirely and start it again. It should work after that. I usually do that as the first thing when I start my comp sp that I don't have to do it in the middle of any convos. Tell we if it works.

To be honest, I have re started messenger many times.  This has been going on for 3 days actually.  Many reboots etc. in that time.  Even re installing plus!  didn't help.

Reinsall help me

what is help me?

I ment Reinstalling Helped Me !!!

Ok!  Got it fixed and here is what worked!  I re-installed plus!  but then had to reboot the computer!  Simply signing in to messenger wasn't enough... so that is the key.  Re-install plus!  then reboot. 

*phew!

or you can just re instal it works with out re boot

As I said in an earlier post, simply re-installing did not work for me.  I had to also reboot after the re-install.

i dint have to re boot at all

HOW DO I TURN BOSS PROTECTION OFF???????????
