When you sign-in to Yahoo! Messenger, the Yahoo! Insider appears immediately. When you’re doing something else and suddenly someone sends you a message, that annoying message window appears right in front of you. It would be better if a new message would simply stay minimized on your taskbar until you decided to read it right? So here’s what you should do:
- Go to Messenger - Preferences (or simply press Ctrl+Shift+P)
- Go to Generals tab
- Uncheck Show Yahoo! Messenger Insider.
- Now go to Messages tab.
- Select Minimize the message window to the taskbar.
- Check Show messages at the bottom right of screen.
- Finally click OK.
