O.P. Messenger Lock Shortcut Problem
Hi there,

Using:
Windows XP Service Pack 2 (5.1.2600)
Windows Live Messenger 8.00.0787
Messenger Plus! Live 4.01.0.240

Location:
Messenger Plus! Live -> Lock Messenger

Description:

Ok, when I use the shortcut that I have set to lock WLM (Ctrl+Space), it locks WLM properly. But when I lock WLM manually by going to Plus! menu and then choosing Lock Messenger, I can not re-open it (unlock) with the shortcut that I have set (Ctrl+Shift+Space). I am forced to double click the icon (changed icon) at the tray to open the password window. So basically, whenever I use shortcuts to lock, I can also unlock using them. But if I lock manually (I often do this because Ctrl+Space hides my online contacts), I am not able to unlock using shortcuts. They're supposed to work regardless of the method I used to lock WLM right?

Sometimes the lock shortcut doesn't work at all. I don't know if shortcuts are supposed to work even if WLM window is minimized or closed, but even with the WLM window opened, I still sometimes have problems with them. Maybe it's about the focus set on controls. I think that the coding of shortcuts should be triggered from any window (if possible) and not only from Plus! hook as the focus is not on that window and maybe that leads to all this.

Regards,
Bardh
