I use pidgin for all my chatting, and all my regular contacts are available in pidgin roster.

I also use Launchy to launch a bunch of things.

As a logical consequence, I wonder if it is possible to start a conversation with one of my contacts from launchy, say, by hitting "pidgy [TAB] Contact name", like I already do for, as an example, PuttY

Using windows 7, the simplest solution to start a conversation without showing Pidgin main window is, too my mind, right-clicking the pidgin icon, then selecting "New message ..." and entering contact name in window.

This is not as good as Launchy, but it does the job quite decently.
