Suggestion for the lockout option by razz1 on 07-09-2009 at 07:45 PM

Is there a way to automatically lockout the MSN messenger when I'm away for more than 10 min? I currently manually lockout when I leave my computer using CTRL+SPACE and I type in the password when I'm back but sometimes I forget to lockout the messenger.

This can be achieved by using AutoLocker. Go to messenger options> Personal> Tick "Show me as "Away when I'm inactive for" and type 10 minutes. Finally, install the script and you'll have what you asked for done.

you should really get in the habit of always using Windows' built in "Lock Workstation" feature whenever you leave your computer, as it's much more secure. :p Put a password on your windows user account, and press windowskey+L or goto Start > Lock/Switch User.
