Allow others to add you without seeking your approval

To allow others to add you without seeking your approval

1. Make sure you are on the Privacy tab of the Options dialog box.

    To get there: In the Windows Messenger main window, click the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Privacy tab.

2. Clear the Alert me when other people add me to their contact lists check box.

Each person who adds you will automatically be put in your Allow list and added to your contact list.

 Notes

• If you do not want people to see your online status without your permission, do not perform the steps above.
• If you see someone in your Allow list that is not in your contact list, you can right-click their name and then click Add to Contacts.
• If you see someone you don't know in your Allow list, you can right-click their name and then click Move To Block List.
