Under live messenger, is there a way to have the screen pop up in front of
any currently open windows? I have to believe there is a way since other
messengers allow this.

Greetings Paul,

Windows Live Messenger doesn't have this function.

Personally, I think it's a horrible function that should be removed from all IM applications.
I went through those years with AIM where you're in the middle of typing your password or
something of a personal nature *boom* IM pops up and you hit enter. Not good.

I need to be able to control this. It is for internal operations but it
sounds like it isn't possible.
