Hi all,

I need to write a small program that could change MSN, GTalk, Skype 'now playing' status. Is there any article/tutorials for this?

Thanks in advance.

Most such things use web services, that you talk to using normal HTTP traffic, so you'd have to generate that traffic by sending the proper TCP packets (you'll need knowledge of TCP/IP and various protocols used like HTTP)

If you want to see how an app does it, just log its traffic using Wireshark (again, good knowledge of TCP/IP, HTTP, etc required).

Thanks, but I think it's not Web-Service based. Skype may used some API but MSN & GTalk need Win32 API calls to change that.
