Microsoft Communicator 2007 R2: How to set custom Presence States ?

Question

How do you configuring Custom Presence States in Communicator 2007?

I've read the following articles...

Technet: Customer Presence States

I've tried the tool called 'Communicator 2007 Custom Presence Tool.exe' (this only works with Communicator 2007 (not Communicator 2007 R2)

I've tried putting the file on the local disk (file://) and on a server. I've not tried putting it on a HTTP or HTTPS link.

Is there any other way to hack what is shows? Even if this means changing it in the registry each time.

Thanks
