Hi Bill, and welcome to the forums

Messenger Plus! doesn't need to be started. There's no icon anywhere. It starts automatically and you can notice that because you'll see a entry named "Plus!" in the menus of the windows of messenger. Using that new menu, you can access all the features of plus. I'd suggest you to take a look at the preferences (main messenger window, menu Plus! > Preferences). Also, you can read this: http://www.msgplus.net/features.php

Enjoy your new Plus!
