messenger pop up when message received

messenger pop up when message received

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.

Thanks

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.
