does anyone know if you can log into your messenger with any of your existing contacts not knowing you are on line? I know you can change it to away etc, but I want to have a nose who is on line without them knowing I have logged on.
Believe that you can do it using webmessenger. Let's you log on however you decide, but doesn't have all the features of normal messenger. Find out more on the msn website. http://messenger.msn.com/
Not sure with previous versions, but with MSN Messenger BETA (Version 7) you can. I do it all the time. As it logs in, at the top it says "sign in as" and you can select there. Look for the beta download on the messenger site.
