Click the MSN Messenger service icon on the taskbar, you can send instant messages, check who is online, log in or log off, change the status or quit the program, which is really the first choice for office workers to communicate online during office hours.

If you want to change the related settings, just click Options on the Tools menu, click the Preferences tab, and then clear the "Run this program when Windows starts" check box.

Save instant message

Because MSN Messenger does not keep chat records, as long as you close the instant messaging window, all the text records in the window will disappear without a trace.

Use blocking function

On OICQ, if we want to prevent someone from seeing or contacting us, the most common method is "invisible login" and drag the annoying guy into the "blacklist", but this is very uncivilized, impolite, selfish and unfavorable behavior. MSN Messenger's shielding function helps you decline gracefully. For example, if you are participating in an instant messaging conversation from someone you want to stop, just click the Stop button in the instant messaging window. You can also right-click the name of the person you want to block in the main window, and then click Block in the right-click menu. To unblock, just right-click the name of the person you want to unblock in your contact list, and then click Unblock.
