Thanks,

This is btw a normal beheviour/keyboard shortcut for such lists in Windows. Thus, nothing special from msn messenger; just plain old basic Windows User Interface.

holding CTRL while selecting => selecting/deselecting multiple individual items
holding SHIFT => selecting/deselecting all items from the current item to the one you just clicked on
holding CTRL and SHIFT while selecting => selecting/deselecting all items from the current item to the one you just clicked on when you're selecting/deselecting individual items

(I know the descriptions are confusing and sound more difficult then it is. Just try it out to see what I mean )

I am using windows messenger 5.1 (due to comapny constraints) and this doesnt work.....   
Is there a setting i'm missing to enable this?
Thanks,

i know wat u posted but as yweinsto dont no this feature that's y i just gave him a clue so he can do this with shift and ctrl key..

Sorry to be a bother, I tried the Ctrl+Select and Shift+ select ,ethod and it doesnt work.  Is there some sort of setting i am missing here?

Thanks!

It should work: works with me.

Just to confirm we are doing the same thing...

I click on 'Send Instant Message' and then get a pop-up window with 'My Contacts' and 'Other' tabs, in the 'My Contacts' tab i see a list of all my contacts and when I keep ctrl or shift down and click on the contacts it doesn't highlight multiple contacts but it just highlights the contact that I click on.

What version of Windows Messenger are you using?

That's not inviting to a conversation: that's starting a new one.

Sorry, I left that part out....

When i have an open conversation and click on 'Invite someone to conversation', i can only select one at a time ( CTRL+Click and SHIFT+Click doesnt work)
