J-Papi asked:
I work at an office and would like to chat with my friends via Yahoo messenger. How can I tweak my messenger to be as discreet as possible? Is there an alternative chat messenging program that is more discreet? I want something that will close my windows and hide them when I am not using them.

you can install a ‘boss key’ program, named because they’re basically made for hiding what you’re doing from your boss.
it will sit quietly in the background then when you hit a secret pre-defined key combination, any program you specified within it will vanish until you press that key combination again to make them re-appear – a free program to do this can be found here:
the advantage of the one above is that it can also mute the pc speakers, meaning that even with hidden windows the pc won’t make a noise when you receive incoming instant messages.
