well i can tell you what to do to remove the ad banner in the chat,the msn today button + the winks,themes and buzz buttons in 7.0.425->

search for:

 id=atom(themesbtn)

and then delete this:

                       <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>

search for:

id=atom(buzzbtn)

and then delete this:

                       <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>

search for:

id=atom(winkbtn)

and then delete this:

                       <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>

search for this:

<element id=atom(adbannercont) layout=filllayout() layoutpos=bottom >

Then delete this whole section:

<element id=atom(adbannercont) layout=filllayout() layoutpos=bottom >
<element height=25 layout=borderlayout() borderthickness=rect(0,1,0,0) colorize=enabled/>
        <textadbanner id=atom(adbanner) layout=borderlayout() padding=rect(1,0,1,3) borderthickness=rect(0,1,0,0) colorize=enabled>
            <cmdbutton id=atom(adbannertextcontainer) layout=verticalflowlayout(0,0, 2, 2) layoutpos=left background=argb(0,0,0,0) selected=false tooltip=true AccName=rcstr(85) padding=rect(19,0,2,4) colorize=enabled>
                <wledit id=atom(adbannertext) class="ReadOnlyText" selected=false active=inactive />
            </cmdbutton>
        </textadbanner>
    </element>

search for:

id=atom(msntodaybtn)

and delete this:

                           <cmdbutton cmdid=40234 id=atom(msntodaybtn) class="ToolbarBtn" layout=flowlayout(0,2,0,2) AccName=rcstr(4231) AccRole=57 AccDesc=rcstr(4230) ShortcutString=rcstr(4229)>
                                <png flip=false idres=1092 class="ToolbarIcon" />
                                <element id=atom(suppress) padding=rect(3,0,0,0) content=rcstr(4229) contentalign=bottomleft | endellipsis/>
                            </cmdbutton>

Recompile and save.

for anything else use something like the Mastaline universal patch

edit:

and i would say

                               <BrowserHost id=atom(TabBrowser) layoutpos=none>
                                </BrowserHost>

which appears inside the "element id=atom(mainwndframe)" section would probably have something to do with those tabs ;)

along with a few other things just underneath it that you might want to remove

however i used a patch on that section so :whistle:

oh and i forgot about the user tile in the main window >_< ->

to remove your dp from the contact list search:

idMainWndUserTile

and remove:

                   <element layoutpos=left layout=verticalflowlayout(0,2,2,2) padding=rect(12,0,6,7)>
                        <usertileview id=atom(idMainWndUserTile) cmdid=310 active=mouseandkeyboard | nosyncfocus/>
                        <png padding=rect(0,0,0,0) idres=ifhc(0, 2019)/>
                    </element>

also you can remove any needless buttons form your chat dinows (aka, activities,webcam and audio) if they arent to your liking... and any others

search something like :

webcambtnimage

and they will all be there.

heres the code for the ones listed above: (that needs to be removed)

           <cmdbutton
                    cmdid=40332
                    AccName=rcstr(60034)
                    AccDesc=rcstr(44029)
                    ShortcutString=rcstr(60034)
                    id=atom(webcambtn)
                    class="TaskbarBtn"
                    layout=borderlayout() >
                <png id=atom(webcambtnimage) layoutpos=top flip=false idres=813 contentalign=topcenter class="TaskbarIcon" />
                <element id=atom(suppress)
                    content=rcstr(60034)
                    layoutpos=client
                    padding=rect(2,-1,2,2)
                    contentalign=bottomcenter />
            </cmdbutton>

           <cmdbutton cmdid=40273 id=atom(audiobtn) class="TaskbarBtn" layout=borderlayout() AccName=rcstr(60035) AccDesc=rcstr(178) ShortcutString=rcstr(60035)>
                <png layoutpos=top flip=false idres=812 contentalign=topcenter class="TaskbarIcon" />
                <element id=atom(suppress) layoutpos=client padding=rect(2,-1,2,2) contentalign=bottomcenter content=rcstr(60035) />
            </cmdbutton>

           <cmdbutton cmdid=40617 id=atom(appdropdownbtn) class="TaskbarBtn" layout=borderlayout() AccName=rcstr(60041) AccDesc=rcstr(44037) ShortcutString=rcstr(60041)>
                <png localized=false layoutpos=top flip=false idres=809 contentalign=topcenter class="TaskbarIcon" />
                <element id=atom(suppress) layoutpos=client padding=rect(2,-1,2,2) contentalign=bottomcenter content=rcstr(60041) />
            </cmdbutton>

unfortunatly if you wanted to remove anythig more id suggest just using microsoft messenger :p

What program are you using to edit that lot?

Is there a way to stop people being able to send you Nudges and stuff? Surely if you take the commands out, it will just go back to the other person and say that the user is using a version of MSN that does not support that feature, or something?

Cheers,

Pete

Im using reshacker to remove all these things, I know that the nudges effects can be removed.. but this is only dealing with the cosmetic aspect.

I could look into it and get back to you, but there should be a new mess.be messpatch out for 7.0.425 soon enough (and that can stop nudges effects)

but you can simply turn off the ability to send/recieve nudges in your options. (under "messages")

[Slimy]

damn it didn't work, after i remove some of the entries msn wouldn't open

edit: i'll keep trying but the universal patch works

does anyone know how to edit the menus in msn?

[Andrew Lyle Global Moderator]

use reshack... you can edit out menus

[Advance]

Yeah, I am assuming you have found my guide. I dont use MSNM but they should be there.

[BigCheese]

Can anybody tell me how to remove the whats hot stuff from the emoticons menu and also the billing information stuff from the menus?

[MrBear5587]

Isnt this illegal lol?

[BigCheese]

Yeah it is.

[Opgeduveld]

isnt there a easy'r way to do this?

i really like it

[Slimy]

can some1 tell me exactly where the menus are located for msn7 and wmp10?

[Advance]

Yeah it is.

584951938[/snapback]

No it really isn't unless you want to sell your edited version.

can some1 tell me exactly where the menus are located for msn7 and wmp10?

584953200[/snapback]

I havent found them in wmp10, thats interesting. I will get back to you,

Advance

[Advance]

Here is what I have found so far:

Deleting all bitmaps in C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player\wmsetsdk.exe

Script:

//Bitmap deleter for wmsetsdk.exe
//-Advance

[FILENAMES]
Exe=wmsetsdk.exe
SaveAs=wmsetsdk2.exe
Log=wmsetsdk.log

[COMMANDS]
-delete bitmap ,,
//-Advance

You ran my old one so you should be OK.

I havent tested memory usage, but it deletes about 400k.

Looking for more tomorrow.

wmsetdskexescript.txt

[Slimy]

ok.. thx

have u found any menus/context menus?

[Advance]

No, it is really weird. I checked every file there and they are no menus. I think it might be in the skin file.

[Slimy]

i couldn't find anything in the registry either... maybe it's built in to xp or something

[Advance]

No, I think it is in the skin files. I searched on how to open the skin files with no luck. I will look more into it when I am bored.

well this whole thread talks about it :blink: or u can actually read the thread and you'll find the above link

[rbet]

I can't use Reshacker and all that... how can I remove access to the MSN Today button? Mastaline patch does not do it.

btw, is it Re-shacker or Res-hacker? :laugh:

[rbet]

sorry for the double post.
