Does anyone know if it's possible to add more user status's to Windows Messenger 5.0?

Greetings BeeDee,

Unfortunately no, there's only the seven status options at present.

However, what you can do instead is add a reason for your current status to your display
name. So, if your name was "BeeDee", simply set your name to "BeeDee {In conference room
2A}" and then set yourself as away.

Also, Messenger Plus!, a third party addition to Messenger can actually do this for you,
after installing Messenger Plus!(http://www.msgplus.net), simply go away, and you'll see the
"Personalised Away" message box appear where you can set this up. Take note that if you do
try this option, be sure to read through the installer, as if you do not wish to install the
sponsor program (ie. advertising) that goes along with Plus!, be sure *not* to chose that
option during the installation.
