Setting Your Messenger Status

Here’s How

1. Type a status message in the box below your name.

   Notice the line below the box that reads link to a web page.

   Tip: If you’ve already clicked outside the box, just click it again while your message is displayed, and the web link box will appear.

2. Click the link to a web page line below the box, then type the URL for the Web page.

   

3. Press the Enter key or click outside the box.

   When a friend clicks your message in his list, the Web page opens in his browser.

   Tip: Your Windows Live™ Messenger contacts may see something different on their lists.
