170349 2003-08-25 05:31:00 With the new version of MSN Messenger, I am finding it increasingly annoying that you cannot tell it to start in the background, and not open the application as a window.

Does anyone know how to stop this?

170350 2003-08-25 05:35:00 How do you define "start in the background"? Do you mean load in windows, but not actually come up, or sign in, without showing the main window? somebody (208)
170351 2003-08-25 07:57:00 Like how in the previous version, you could untick 'Open Messenger main window when Messenger starts'.

In the new version that is ticked but greyed out so you cannot change it.

The setting basically added " -background" to the shortcut that launched MSN Messenger. You can still add that, but once you are signed in if you use automatic sign-in, it opens the main Messenger window.
