Hide Microsoft Messenger on Startup

[jacktabby]

Hi all,
I have just downloaded Microsoft Messenger 7.0.2 for mac, and found that when I set it as a login item it doesn't hide. Is there an applescript or something I can use to fix this?

I tried:

tell application "Finder"
set the visible of process "Microsoft Messenger" to false
end tell

But the code doesn't work for MSN.

Thank you for your time.

P.S. Wasn't sure if this went in applescripts or not, but because applescript is a suggestion, I thought not.

Is there any reason that you need MS Messenger, rather than Apple's iChat?

Two things about your AS:
I'm not sure that telling the Finder is correct.
Secondly, check that the name of MS Messenger for AppleScript is actually what you have used.

I use MSN Messenger because friends don't use a mac.

System Events does the same, and I'm giving the right name.

I now have a script that launches MSN Messenger and hides it. The only problem is it doesn't automatically log in, anyway to fix this?

Here is the code:

tell application "MSN Messenger" to launch

tell application "System Events" to set vis to the visible of process "Microsoft Messenger"

repeat until vis is false
	tell application "System Events"
		set visible of process "Microsoft Messenger" to false
		set vis to the visible of process "Microsoft Messenger"
	end tell
end repeat

Thank you.

Edit: I tried MSN 8 Beta and it automatically logs in?
