YAHOO MESSENGER : LOGIN AND CONFIGURE

Login and Configure Yahoo Messenger

1. Locate the Yahoo Messenger icon on your desktop and double-click to start.

2. In the sign-in box, enter your Yahoo ID and password. IMPORTANT: Do not select "Remember my ID & Password", or "Automatically sign-in" unless you are using your own personal computer. If you select "Sign-in as invisible", you will be able to see who's online (those people who are on your contact list who are currently logged into the service) but they will not be able to see that you are online. You can easily switch between "invisible" and "available" once you are logged into the service.

3. The very first time you log into Yahoo Messenger you will need to a few preferences. Select Messenger-->Preferences.

Unless you are a proficient user of instant messaging programs, we recommend that you set the preferences according to the images below (you will not have to change preferences for all categories).

Once you are more familiar with Instant Messaging and your IM program, you may later wish to add any functionality or features that are "de-selected" in the screen images shown below. You can change your personal preferences (settings) at any time, simply by selecting "Preferences" from the Messenger Menu. For more information on Yahoo Messenger Features (activated via "Preferences") see: http://messenger.yahoo.com/
