MSN 7.0 - No Tabs.

[j4020]

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

The tabs will be back after you change any settings in the preference.

What part on 'no links to download' you don't understand? :rofl:

Huuf made a patch for it. Specially for lazy people like me :rolleyes: Also available on mess.be

[dpanda]

the title is quite misleading. i thought msn 7.0/8.0/9.0 is another software by itself?

^ :huh: huh?

Old news is so exciting :no:

And you were never one for sourcing other people's news where you? Stealing is your main objective :no:

[Kriz]

Or just download the patch that removes them :)

Or just download the patch that removes then :)

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

<cmdbutton cmdid=35126 id=atom(winkbtn) class="ToolbarBtn" layout=flowlayout(0,2,0,2) AccName=rcstr(60004) AccRole=57 AccDesc=rcstr(3178) ShortcutString=rcstr(60004)>

(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

<cmdbutton cmdid=35126 id=atom(winkbtn) class="ToolbarBtn" layout=flowlayout(0,2,0,2) AccName=rcstr(60004) AccRole=57 AccDesc=rcstr(3178) ShortcutString=rcstr(60004)>
<png flip=false idres=1093 class="ToolbarIcon" />
<element id=atom(suppress) padding=rect(2,0,0,0) content=rcstr(60004) />
<element class="ToolbarCaret"/>
</cmdbutton>

Scroll down a little further and you will see

<cmdbutton cmdid=40614 
id=atom(themesbtn) 
class="ToolbarBtn" 
layout=flowlayout(0,2,0,2) 
AccName=rcstr(60013) 
AccRole=57 
AccDesc=rcstr(44082) 
ShortcutString=rcstr(60013)>
<png flip=false idres=1012  class="ToolbarIcon" />
<element id=atom(suppress) padding=rect(2,0,0,0) content=rcstr(60013) />
<element class="ToolbarCaret"/>
</cmdbutton>

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:

<cmdbutton cmdid=689 
id=atom(buzzbtn) 
class="ToolbarBtn" 
layout=flowlayout(0,2,0,2) 
AccName=rcstr(699) 
AccRole=57 
AccDesc=rcstr(700) 
>
<png flip=false padding=rect(2,0,0,0) idres=911  class="ToolbarIcon" />
</cmdbutton>

Once your done compile the script and save the file, open up msn 7.0 and enjoy a less bloated chat window
