Yes, I'm using Windows XP Professional and MSN Messenger is exiting completely. I've just checked it: there is only one instance of msnmsgr.exe in the taskmanager (after restarting MSN again ;-)).

The new version of your plugin seems to work again :-) (Y). Also the timer for autohiding the menu works now correctly (until now it hided the menu immediately after losing focus)!

Thank you very much for your quick help!

RE: Auto-hide feature for Plus! (on the makes)
It's me again :-$. Today I found a small issue with the new version from yesterday. I use the autohide option to hide the menu after 5 seconds. After booting my PC tomorrow, the menu was not showing at all. Clicking the small arrow to show the menu did also not work nor undocking the contact list. Even disabling the autohide option for the menu gave no result. Only restarting MSN Messenger solved the problem. After an other restart, I had the same "problem". Once I restart the Messenger everything works fine again :-).

Sorry, I didn't see that you updated the file :-$. I just downloaded it and tried the new version. Nevertheless the problem exists: I can not access the menu in any way :-(. With this version it is even worse: restarting Messenger will not solve the problem.

I have to disable autohiding the menu, shutdown Messenger, restart it and then the menu appears. Now I can again configure your plugin to autohide the menu; this will work as long as I don't exit Messenger. When I restart now again MSN, the menu disappears :-S.

Okey, finally got it working, as much as I like it and would find it useful, its missing one thing Auto-Hide for me is, motion when unhiding and hiding. Until then I really can't use it, oh and I find its a bit annoying when trying to make it unhide, you need to have the mouse to the right of the screen where its hiden, but then push the mouse further right to actually make it appear.

The animation is cool :-). I'll test the plugin in the next days and if I find some problems, I'll report them ;-).

Good luck with your exams!
