Hi,
There is no "registry hack" to magically add this feature to Windows Messenger.

With Windows Messenger, appearing Offline when you first sign-in is NOT
possible; unless it can be done with a registry hack. On the other hand, MSN
Messenger 7.5 and Windows Live Messenger will allow you to set your status to
appear offline when you first sign-in.

I'm running Messenger 5.0 (company requirement), WinXP Pro SP2, Office Suite
SP2. I've become acquianted with someone in the office that has added me as a
contact. Because of the distance between us (miles), we have alot in common,
chat often and could chat all day for that matter but we're starting stray
from work. We do not communicate after hours. This has been discussed between
us but we still end up spending a majority of the day happily IM'ing one
another. Question: Is there a way to have my Messenger status default to
'Offline' whenever I sign-in to Messenger? So then I can regulate who sees me
online and who doesn't when I first log in? I do know that the opposite is
true. Once I sign-in, I can appear offline. For instance, as soon as I
sign-in, I have various contacts saying hello. Also, if I 'block' the
contact, what will my status appear as on that contacts Messenger? Thanks in
advance!
