Default Using several accounts

I want to be able to sign in to messanger with more than
one account or name. I had this with the previous version
of messenger, but when I loaded 6.0 I seem to have lost
this feature. How can I do this with 6.0?
Once I do this, how can I attach a second or third account?

Greetings LeeAnn,

In Windows XP, you can use multiple accounts by using Windows Messenger (Start, All Programs,
Windows Messenger) to sign into one account, and then sign into another on MSN Messenger.
Alternatively (and probably what you had before) you can use an unsupported polygamy patch if
you really need to do this, which will allow you to start MSN Messenger 6 as many times as
you wish:
http://www.mess.be [under [Downloads], choose MSN Messenger 6 and look for the polygamy
patch(es)].
