Alright.  What this is, is similar to boss mode. Call it parent mode.  For those kids who have parents who don't approve of foul language n such.  If a parent comes into the room you can do a shortcut key and it will turn on the word filter and change your name to a "safe" one if desired.  I know my parents often come in and demand the computer RIGHT NOW because they need something printed off or something and often times someone will have something sex related/foul language in their screen name and it will pop up and they well see and get all man n such.  I dunno just an idea.

Just lock MSN Messenger as soon as they need to go on the computer. :) While Messenger is locked you won't see any popups and your parents won't be able to open Messenger without a password.

in the contact list, go to Plus! > Prefences > Privacy Protection > Messenger Lock

Then set a "Status when locked". (Choose "Busy" if you don't want Messenger to make any sounds while locked.)
Set a password so they can't open MSN Messenger. ;)
Then enable a Messenger Lock shortcut for quick locking if you have to get off in a rush. :)

Parents: Why do you close messenger when i come
Boy: Nothing! i just wanted to close it when you came in
*Parents looking at the screen. They saw a sign out icon in the sys tray
Parents: Good boy
*Boy laughs. He used Boss Protection with the icon changed to the sign out icon

moral of the story: use boss protection with the icon changed to the sign out icon
