I like the idea, but I put it in my Object Dock and I use MSN 6.1, but it only launches Windows Messenger.. How can I fix that?

It looks familiar because the icons are borrowed. I'm not trying to take credit for those.

What my intention for this docklet is, is not just to launch MSN Messenger, but allow you to see and change your current status from ObjectDock itself. I didn't see that type of docklet available, so I did one myself.
Sorry if it caused anyone problems, but I only tested and ran this on a Windows XP machine running MSN Messenger 6.0. Anything outside of that I haven't tested it.

I'm going to start looking at compatibility issues with MSN 6.1, as well as the older Windows Messenger 4.7 that comes with Windows XP.
I'll post another version with those changes as well as better error handling in a couple days.

This is the same Docklet. I have made only icons for this and enclose the DLL at once. The Docklet Author is also particularly mentioned with me.

Confirm the previous Bug:
Using MSNMess 6.0 allows changing the status form the Docklet. Switching to MSNMess 6.1 removes the "Status Change" functionality from the Docklet.
(WHy in the hell did i upgrade from 6.0, to 6.1 !?)

For XP users:
Windows Messenger (as opposed to MSN messenger) is part of windows and is a Default messenger i guess. Go to Add/Remove programs > Windows components and uninstall the P.o.S.
Then, the docklet should work fine (cept for Status Change issue with MSNMess 6.1)

Thanks for the comments everyone.
AndreasV: Are you running both Windows Messenger and MSN Messenger? I have both istalled, but only am running MSN Messenger, and I get MSN Messenger 6.0 launched corerctly. Just trying to figure out why your behavior is different.
Suslik: I'll upgrade a machine to MSN 6.1 and try it out. Microsoft probably changed the interfaces available in the newer version.

Strange... lately, (After upgrade from IE5.5 to IE6.x and Install of Encarta 2003 the docklet started to work fine with MSNMess 6.1.
On ObjectDock load the icon shows as "signed off". Right-click menu is awailable, I click "Sign On" and the correct MSNMess (6.1) is started.
After that, the right-click menu allows to change the status.
I remember Encarta installing some new MSF libraries, could that be it?
