If you want to remove your tabs from MSN Messenger 7 Beta:
1. Hit start -> run -> regedit
2. Look for the section HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ MSNMessenger \ PerPassportSettings
3. Open all the sections consisting out of a number combination.
4. Select the DWORD DisableTabs (if not present, create it)
5. Change its value to 1
6. Repeat this step at all number combinations
7. Close and restart MSN Messenger

What part on 'no links to download' you don't understand?
Huuf made a patch for it. Specially for lazy people like me
Also available on mess.be
the title is quite misleading. i thought msn 7.0/8.0/9.0 is another software by itself?

Exactly..oh well some people just don't get it these days
How to remove the new buttons:
A few people have been telling me they feel the window is a little bloated with the winks and the themes buttons.. so i found a way to remove them.
You'll need:
Reshacker
MSN 7.0
open up reshacker and dump in your msn 7.0 exe
open search and enter
(its just easier to search the whole first line)
now to double check this should open up uifile 920
now you need to delete these sections
Scroll down a little further and you will see
That is the packs button
and for those even wanting to be rid of the buzz button, scroll down a little again and look for:
Once your done compile the script and save the file, open up msn 7.0 and enjoy a less bloated chat window

After deleteing the suggested strings... what do you save the file as and where do u put it?
I think those were back before the 425 beta (i cant remember), but its all the same....
once you finish editing/deleting make sure the program itself is off... then compile the script and save the the exe. reshacker will make a backup in the original location... so if you bugger up you should be ok
in other words.. just save it in its original location

Tis annoying eh? Cheers for all the guides in here.
na.. just getting rid of the of the present button and the pop-up sending things was enough.. ty the other features are alright.. keep most for now
anyways of removing the msn logo from the top right of the IM window?
also, after res hacking, I have a problem, whenever I close the main window and then reopen it, the display settings change back to "by email" instead of "by display name"

good question.. I wonder as well...
yes there is:
its in uifile 920 just below the - [] x buttons
search
<element id=atom(captionbtngrpbase) layout=borderlayout() padding=rect(0,0,10,0)>
and scroll down a bit till you see the code:
<png class="CaptionImg" id=atom(msnlogo) layoutpos=ifhc(none, right) flip=false idres=1041/>
make sure you are in uifile 920 or you'll remove the logo from somewhere else (not that thats a bad thing..) They use the same code for all the msn logos really.

damn enigma, you are good. How'd you find all this out?
the problem of the contacts display still persists though 
. It doesn't happen right away. It seems as though if I leave the main window closed for a few minutes then re-open it, it reverts back to "email address" for the view of the buddy list.

I started reshacking back with the longhorn top bar project along with a few others, you pick up things as you go really. I found out most of this stuff when I was making a skin for a neowin member... ( msn is rather simple when you get into it )
bangbang could you show me a screen of the exact problem? i might be able to solve that
Edit: do you mean the sort order? or do you mean it displays emails instead of names?
)bangbang could you show me a screen of the exact problem? i might be able to solve that
Edit: do you mean the sort order? or do you mean it displays emails instead of names?
well it isn't happening now, but there's no screen shot to take really. You know you have the option of either choose to view your online contacts, on your buddy list, by their email address or chosen display name? Well, every now and then, it reverts back to displaying everyone on my list using their email address instead of showing their chose display name. It's not happening now, but it was two minutes ago.
Ive never seen that option.... wierd. I can only really change things to do with "buddyname" and "buddystate", unfortunatly the only reference to a buddy email i can find is a few send email buttons.
What exactly did you edit that caused the problem?
(then again it might be a service problem)
if worse come to worse ill quickly make a patch for everyone.

I only edited the chat window ad and now the logo. The option I'm talking about is under contact/manage contacts/view contacts by...
it seems to be working ok now. Must have been a hiccup.

Yes I would say so, because you didnt really touch anything to do with the contact list (thats in another ui file)
good luck with any future reshacking people, as always... if you need help just drop me a line.

follow the last instructions he gave me
I believe I did.. and it deleted the msn logo pic when u sign in... argh
are you sure you followed thos instructions to the letter... because
<element id=atom(captionbtngrpbase) layout=borderlayout() padding=rect(0,0,10,0)>
only appears in one place and that is in UIFILE 920, which is only to do with the chat window
if you searched:
<png class="CaptionImg" id=atom(msnlogo) layoutpos=ifhc(none, right) flip=false idres=1041/>
That appears in a number of places and you could be removing that logo from anywhere...
What you need to so is search for the first string, then scroll down and delete the second.
(im guessing you removed that from somewhere in uifile 923)

Man, you got me addicted to this lol. I removed the send buttons from the IM window and the handwrite/type tabs from the window also. Thanks again.
Not a problem
always good to get people into this, its fun to see just what you can do with a little reshacking here and there isnt it? and the result is a fairly clean looking msn.
Unfortunatly Im going to have my work cut out for me if msn does anything like the wave 11 concept
