O.P. MSN Idle Status Change
I'm pretty sure that in the previous versions of MSN Plus!, this bug had been fixed. Anyway here goes. With the new Plus! (Version 3), the auto-away feature activates itself even if you've set your own personalised status. I recall previous versions had fixed this, so maybe I've missed an option somewhere, but so far - no luck.

Turn auto away off in MSN messenger itself: Tools > options > personal > uncheck "show me as away when I'm inactive for .. mins"

Why not turn it off when u choose a personalized away? U can always turn it on when u don't ;)

The auto away (idle) feature is a MSN Messenger function and can not be changed by plus (doing so would be illegal).

use this:

HKCU\Software\Patchou\MsgPlus2\your@email.com\Preferences
AutoAwayAlways
dword
1

Boolean value. If false (0), the "change status after x minutes" feature changes the status only when the user is currently Online or Idle.
