How to stop Yahoo Messenger Message Popups

Perhaps one of the most annoying thing on Yahoo Messenger for most of us are the message popups which come in the middle of whatever important we may be doing. One simple way to disallow the message windows to popup in between is to make a little setting which Yahoo Messenger allows. Here is how it works.

In Yahoo Messenger application click on MESSENGER
Click on PREFERENCES
Under Category click on MESSAGES
On the right side under "When I receive a new message" click on the radio button of "MINIMIZE THE MESSAGE WINDOW TO THE TASKBAR"
The check box below this "SHOW MESSAGE FROM BACKGROUND WINDOWS AT BOTTOM RIGHT OF SCREEN" should be UNCHECKED.

With the above settings, the next time a message comes to you or 20 messages come to you, all will be received at your system in minimized state. Read them when you want and not when they come. However, the conference invites will still pop in between.

Other less relevant Settings:
In Yahoo Messenger application click on MESSENGER
Click on PREFERENCES
Under Category click on GENERAL
On the right side under "When I start up my computer"
Keep "Automatically start Yahoo Messenger" unchecked.
Under "When I'm using Yahoo Messer"
Keep "Remove the taskbar button when I minimize the main window" checked.
