I mainly use MSN / Windows Live Messenger with the Messenger Plus add-in - one of the features I love is being able to hit Ctrl-Space and it instantly hides all chat windows and turns the main Messenger icon in the system tray into something innocent looking. Very handy!

Now, is there something similar for Yahoo Messenger?
 
Not with yahoo that I know of, but I certainly agree it would be handy. Will say at least you can press and hold the windows button (it's between the ctrl and alt keys on your keyboard - most people don't even know it has a purpose) and the letter d to have all windows minimize and go to your desktop. Not perfect, as they are still on the task bar, but handy nonetheless. There might be some third party programs out there that would work. If you find something, I would certainly like to know about it, so I hope they post it here. :)
 
I did find something called Yahoo Hider, but it didn't really work. All it did was to completely hide all the Yahoo windows when you ran it, the hotkey switching didn't do anything.

Minimising isn't really enough, I really want something like the Messenger Plus feature where all the windows vanish and the messenger icon itself turns into something innocent looking, and also prompting for a password to bring them back. It's a fantastic feature, would just love to be able to do it on Yahoo too.
