I know I'm getting a bit off-topic, beg your pardon, the /wait statement on Winx32 "halts" program execution until that process is finished, diminishing the efficacy of the script, for example doing msnmsgr.exe/wait as a command will instruct it not to continue until msnmsgr.exe exits... If you do that instead of /sleep x then winx32 and msgplus will remain in memory until the whole script is finished (and it will only finish after you exit messenger!!!)
I've noticed that if you kill msgplus to early after MSN Messenger starts (less than 1-2 seconds) it doesn't hook up.. That's why I allow it to remain until after messenger logs in (about 10 seconds)... The other 10 seconds are optional, but I guess it's better to allow messenger to login before unloading msgplus...
Anyway, this script has, as I stated before, a limited use and is for educational purposes only... The sad part is that you do require to have Winx32 installed (it's a single .exe of about 500k)...It's good for people that don't "poly" too much...(You better wait for the script to finish (it'sabout 24 secs. after starting) before you run the next instance, that's to avoid killing msgplus before it hooks on the second messenger)
