Hi Jonathan,
I did all that originally, but the damned thing is still
there. If I don't sign onto MSN Messenger (because I
don't want to talk to anyone), as soon as I go on-line,
it would seem that I am showing as on-line to my
contacts - even though I've never opened up MSN
Messenger. It's very frustrating.
