Messenger Plus! Live - the Windows Live Messenger Extension

I have just downloaded a sweeney todd skin, and it works, however i share a computer with my mother and she will not like this skin. Therefore is there anyway i could remove the skin from her MSN account but leave it on mine? Because At the moment the skin is applied to both. Please help.
Much appreciated.

The skin is applied to Messenger, not to an account. Well... you can change the skin to "Messenger's Default" before leaveng, then she won't see it. Or you could use a skin that she would like to have, then both could use the same.

But... sorry, there's no way to apply the skin only to one account.

The skin is applied when Messenger starts because that's when all resources gets loaded, so Messenger Plus! cannot know what account you're going to sign in into. That's why it's a global setting, and applies to all accounts.

Messenger Plus! Live adds a command line parameter to Messenger which allows you to launch with a particular skin, so you can create two seperate shortcuts, one with the skin and one without.

The locations the shortcuts need to point to are as follows:
(these need to be changed where appropriate if Messenger is installed in a different location)

code:

---

"C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Messenger\msnmsgr.exe" /PlusSkin="Sweeney Todd"
"C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Messenger\msnmsgr.exe" /PlusSkin=""

---

Now you just need a way to make sure your mother only launches the bottom one

Simple...
Put that shortcut on the desktop, while you hide your "customized" messenger inside a folder only you know...
