Here's the deal... I like MSN messenger, and my mom likes Windows messenger (as it is integrated with Outlook Express and contacts show up as either online or offline in Outlook Express). I have downloaded both. Now... Since my mom uses the computer more than I do, I have set MSN Messenger so it won't start up when when she turns the computer on. And have set Windows Messenger to run automatically and run when the computer is turned on. Now here's the problem. Everything seems to be working fine it logs here in and everything automatically (MSN Messenger doesn't run--so that's ok), however the little buddy icon does not show up in the taskbar unless Windows Messenger has been opened manually or she has sent someone an IM through Outlook Express.

Does anyone know how to fix this problem??

Thanks!!
