Changing My Status

When you sign in with Windows Messenger, the program notifies contacts currently online from your Contacts list that you are available to chat. While you're signed in, you might need to leave your computer for a meeting or lunch. Instead of signing out, you can change your online status to let your contacts know that you'll be right back, or that you're busy, away from your desk, on the phone, out to lunch , or offline. You can also change status and program preferences to customize the way Windows Messenger runs, shows status, and displays alerts.
