Well Hell....... See I thought I wrote, "What are you doing?" LOL That's what made me wonder why it would be showing up on the 2nd ID too:)
Ok so problem solved.......thanks...... To answer a couple of your questions... I created a new mail box and associated it with a new messenger ID. Not an alias... As to deleting status messages from the registry.. Click Start > Run... type regedit and press enter. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Yahoo > pager > profiles > *select your username* then click Custom Msgs, in this folder you will see keys labeled as so.. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5..for however many status messages there is....... Here's the link to a Yahoo Answers Question.. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20061105052812AAvIPDj Thanks!! --- In [email protected], "LNVTM1 - Lenny Vasbinder" <lnv...@...> wrote: > > What do you mean by you created a 2nd messenger?
