    Download msn plus off https://www.msgplus.net then whenever someone walk up on you press ctrl and space and it will hide all the windows and the little icon in the tray bar (near the clock) but it will still keep it running so you will still be online but you wont be able to see it on the computer until you clik back onto the little grey diamond and presto its BACK!!

    Just a quick mention on the side of this one. If like me you can't access MSN Messenger from work through your firewall/proxy server, try E-Messenger. It also runs Yahoo messenger. :p

    None really. windows D takes you to the desktop. Windows M minimizes all open windows (leaving you at the desktop).

    You end up with the same result.

    I've been using msn plus for ages and i've never had a problem with spyware, i scan my computer using ad-aware about once a week and it never normally highlights more than my cookies for deletion.

    Msn plus doesnt just do thinks like minimising msn (although when it does you can actually get it to change the icon so no1 even sees the lil bloke in the corner - and u can have it password protected to reopen again) it has loads of cool extras like being able to play seperate noises for different contacts, having multi-coloured display names, more advanced chat logs (password protected), you can set your own names to appear for different people (so whatever their screen name is it always shows you the name u set for them). There are loads of things, and you can get even more plugins for it that give you loads of things like sound packs and ping tests, the best plugin being the Stuff plug which gives functions like being able to set your own size for your display pictures and it also allows you to have upto something like 5000 characters in one got compared to the like 500 msn offers as standard.

    Ive been using it for ages and never had a problem, but hey its up to you if you take it or not.

    or, a very simple solution, if you are at school or work, and shouldnt be on MSN; then DONT GO ON MSN

    if your so desperate that you can't bear to be away from MSN then you might aswell stay home from school or not work because your only wasting your time - get lives.
