When I click an IM link in WLMD I get the message "Windows Live Messenger is
currently not signed-in with the same user acocunt...". I am using my work
Win Live ID in Win Live Messenger and Home Win Live ID with WLMD. I want to
stay logged in Messenger with thw Work Live ID. I have Linked my Win Live IDs
but it still asks me to log out. Is there any way I can stay logged in to
Messenger with by Work Live ID and access Messenger with WLMD using Home Live
ID?

If accessing the IM link from a contact in WLM, then no.

You can open WLM with one ID and open WLMsg with another.

Hi, Herb.

Winston is much more expert than I and he has already answered your
question.

I'd just like to add a friendly tip. The "D" was dropped from "WLMD" over 3
years ago when Microsoft went through a renaming frenzy while Windows Live
was still in beta. The application is now Windows Live Mail, often
abbreviated WLM - or WLMail when we need to differentiate it from WLMsgr.
Whenever we see a post asking about "WLMD", we automatically assume that the
poster is a bit behind the times.

(Yes, I know the word "desktop" is still in the name of this newsgroup.
Something about how hard it is to change the name of a Usenet newsgroup.)
