Let's imagine you choose to appear 'offline' on msn messenger.

Then if you leave the computer until it goes onto the screensaver, is it possible that it sets your status to 'away' as it would do if you were online????

Then when you come back to your computer and wiggle the mouse, it sets your status back to 'appear offline'???

I'm asking this because I'm worried that if I leave the computer and it does this, my friends will think I'm not talking to them!!!

Thanks!

No it will not change you to away. If you manually pick a status other than Online, Windows Live Messenger will never automatically change your status to anything else.

Cool thanks!!
