You can change the settings so that only people in your buddy list can IM you. It is in prefrences somewhere.

nope they wont at all, but if you have the new Windows Live Messenger you can always talk to people while your status is offline and they cant see that your online.

Yeah its easy. Go to the start button, type services.msc in the Run box.\n\nYou will see a window with a list of service names. Pick the one named Messenger, and rightclick on it. Choose Properties. In the Startup Type box choose Disabled. Then click Ok and right-click on Messenger again and pick Stop.\n\nIt looks like a lot but its really simple.

On your Yahoo messenger "control panel", select "messenger", then "preferences", then "ignore list". When you get to the ignore list, select "ignore anyone who is not on my messenger list", then click "apply", then "ok". \n\nFrom that point, only people who already are on your messenger list will be able to im you.\n\nHave a nice day.

i think you are talking about ISA server not the IAS server so it is very simple just block the ports on ur ISA server that the messenger is using and dont allow the users to install messengers on their own machines

On most messengers, you can only log into your name on one computer.  You can, however, have 2 different accounts, and be logged on 2 computers at the same time.

You can't stop anyone from booting, but you can use an alternative to Yahoo! Messenger.\n\nGo to http://www.yahelite.org & download the Yahelite, you can't be booted if you use this messenger.\nBy the way, it will take some time to getting used to, just don't get impatient because it is a little bit complicating to use that first...

Hi,\n\nI know the exact problem you're having.\nI bet 99.9% you have a Norton program installed on your pc eithe norton antivirus,systemworks etc.\nNorton blocks that feature of messenger, what I do when I want to play those games, I just disable norton for a few min or hours and when i'm done playing i'll just enable it back.\nWhen disabling norton, you might need to sign out and sign back in to see the games on messenger ;)

It depends on what list of friends you are referring. I have a public  friends, professional friends and a private friends, I use different accounts on different services and in one case use a restricted yahoo group to maintain separate list. \n\nThis allows me to control and share information with the different groups based on interests and to protect my identify.\n\nBTW, I found that occasionally, someone sends a message via YA, but they have not turned on the option to receive messages, so more times than not, it looks like I am ignoring them, when it simply a matter that I can not contact them.

There isnt, unfortunately.  But you can go to your preferences in IM and determine who is allowed to see you when online.

Who ever was using your msn passport would be thrown off messenger and you would be logged on. The way messenger works only machine can be logged on with your passport. There is no way of finding out who is logging onto your messanger but it is likely that your settings are probably automatically stored on a machine you have used in the past. Best to change your password asap if you use your same password for messenger and email.

go into preferences than down to ignore.than you get two choices..ignore anyone who is not on my list<which will block out all chat in a room.. or just type in manually the name of the ppl. you want to ignore<this is the only way to in ignore ppl. and still see the room chat..this new yahoo messenger has many problems with it.the old beta was better,but ya cant get that one back either so were all s.o.l. until yahoo works out all the bugs..soon enough they will work it out,and when we get use to it..they will change it once again this is the 4th messenger change ive seen.
