| | Re: Status on startup Greetings Stan, Like previous versions, you can choose your status before you sign-in. However, it's possible that your existing saved status was removed, so here's how to get it back. Load up Messenger as-per-usual. If it automatically signs you in, right-click on the icon in the notification area (by the clock), and choose Sign out. Double-click the icon and bring up the main Messenger window. Now under 'Sign in as', just select the status you want, make sure 'Remember me' (and any of the other saved options you prefer) is selected and click the Sign in button. It will now retain this for future sessions. -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger MessengerGeek Blog: http://www.messengergeek.com Messenger Resources: http://messenger.jonathankay.com (c) 2008 Jonathan Kay - If redistributing, you must include this signature or citation -- "StanJ" <StanJ@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:F86FBAC3-42A3-4BBA-A111-1322CF768CF3@xxxxxx Quote: > Before upgrading to 8.5 WLM remembered my status (I prefer to come up as > "Appear Offline"). > Since upgrading I cannot figure out how to force this status.
