Vista - live messenger maximize switch

i'm guessing by the lack of response that is it impossible to maximise
live messenger on a shortcut

Greetings,

I'm not exactly clear based on this and your previous post what you're trying to do. If you
leave it maximized before you close it -- it will retain that the next time it starts. If
you make a shortcut that says to run it maximized -- it will.

i run wlm minimized. Normally to open it one woudl simply click on the
icon on the sys tray. This is the option i am trying to repalce with a
shortcut. As i don't have the systray showing.

If i click on a normal shortcut then another wlm opens as occasionally
i use polygamy.

So all i wanted to do was make a shortcut to open the existing one

"C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Messenger\msnmsgr.exe /maximized" for
example, but of course that doesn't work

Hi Paul,

I see. If you didn't use polygamy, Messenger would come up as you desire. I suggest just
turning off polygamy (assuming you're using Messenger Plus to do it). If it's only an
occasional thing, then you can just switch it back on when you require it.

is it true polygamy has been incorporated into WLM 9 ?

and can WLM 9 ( i know its still BETA ) successfully talk to WLM 8.5
users?

Hi,

WLM9 does not have this feature (at present anyway). However, to answer your other question,
it operates on the same network and your contacts are the same. So yes.
