O.P. MSN and Windows Messenger - Script to load and login?
I'm wondering if it i is possible to write a script of some form which will load MSN and Windows Messengers, and sign both programs into different user accounts automatically?

I don't want messenger loading at startup, but i would like to be able to run a program which will launch both programs when needed.

Does anyone know if this is possible? I thought about using the auto signin feature, but this will only work with one account afaik.

Hopefully someone will know something.

If you really want windows messenger, you can use gilly which almost has the same functions and can log you in with a shortcut to:
code:
"C:\Program Files\Gilly Messenger\GIlly Messenger.exe" me@hotmail.com mypassword
you can then use msn 6/7's autosignin to automaticly sign in to your account and gilly to sign in to another.

running two apps at the same time can be done using applications like AppLoader

Cheers, Millenium_edition - Gilly Messenger works great!

Instead of using AppLoader, I simply wrote a small VB Script to run both programs at once:
code:
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
objShell.Run "C:\PROGRA~1\GILLYM~1\GILLYM~1.exe user pass"
objShell.Run "C:\PROGRA~1\MSNMES~1\msnmsgr.exe"


Not sure if the coding of the VB Script is correct - this is the first script I've ever written, but it seems to work.

Thanks again!

The good thing about AppLoader is that it can take care of closing everything when you don't need them :)
