have an option to disable the unlock though.. although I do like the idea.
I think the option 'Nothing' (in the Unlock menu) which Eljay mentions is exactly that :p


Exactly.

It would be good to have 'Nothing' for Lock/Logout as well because for example a user may want to change their status to 'phone' and log out while they go and take the call in another room, or they may want to change their status to 'lunch' while they have their lunch etc. so they do not want something to overwrite this status (and obviously it would be annoying if you have to configure it each time - especially in the case of a phone call where there isnt much time :P) whereas when they come back and login they want their status to be online again.

Yeh I guess.

You can't. In the case of not having automatic sign-in enabled, you would just have to sign back in manually.

Here is a script.
On System Lock-
  Changes Status to Appear Offline if Signed in.
On System Unlock-
  Changes Status back to the old status.
Can be Enabled and Disabled from the Script Menu

Have Fun :).

As discussed in this (quite ancient) thread, messenger already automatically changes your status to Idle when you lock your workstation (if you have "change status after x minutes of inactivity" enabled), but it would be great to have more control over which (personalized) status it is set to.

Eljay, will your script support personalized statuses? (guess not, but would be cool)
Also, when can we expect a release? I'm really looking forward to it :D

The script i posted above your post does something very similar to what Eljay's would do. You can edit it to suit yourself ;). I might think of creating a script with advanced options when i get rid ofmy exams :P.
