love the new msn messenger 6...however anyone have any idea on how i can replace the butterfly msn messenger icon in the system tray with the original windows messenger system tray icon. a step by step tutorial would would be appreciated. thx guys

google resource hacker...download it..then open up the msn messenger with it...go to change icon...search..its under a tab..only a few there..change it with the one you have there...

Is there anything just to get rid of the stupid tabs on the left pane for MSN6? I find I NEVER EVER use those stupid tabs to begin wit\' UTTERLY USELESS. I can use that extra space horizontally for the stupid ignorant people that make long ass names that stretch across the screen. Any help appreciated.

goto to Tools > Options > Privacy > click on " This is a shared computer so don't display my tabs"

so many icons to pilfer through...im not exactly sure which icon resource to change after studying it a bit. anyone have any other suggestion on just removing the butterfly from the system tray icon? ste by step would be cool. thx

what? i suggest go check it out, they have had that since 0.7x or earlier. They call it "containers" which allow you to put n chats in one window and easily switch between them.

It's the only missing feature that msn messenger would need to make trillian and plus obsolete to me

Hello Dwergs, I'm Patchou, the guy that do Messenger Plus!"

dwergs says:

Since the official Messenger Plus! forums are down and a lot of people are concerned about the compatibility of Plus! with MSN Messenger 6.0, Patchou asked us to get the following message out to the community:

"I'm working all day long on Messenger 6 compatibility and, even if an important part of Messenger Plus! must be coded again, the project is progressing well. There WILL be a Messenger 6 compatible version released within a month and normally, all the current features will work the same way as in Messenger 5. I could release it sooner but I want the next version to have several new exciting features. I hope you'll all be pleased by what you'll see."

    • That's just silly imo. The lengths that man goes to just to avoid W11 is just nuts. Very, very few home users would do that. I will say this though, he is committed. Btw, I note on askwoody that Woody Leonhard passed away March, 2025 aged 73. His site was one of my favorites back in the day. Belated yes but RIP Woody.
    • Because of the EU (a good thing) newer android devices been getting 5 years worth of security patches. Except some Motorola which found the loop hole, and offer ZERO updates. In addition, Google for years have been making where it can patch some stuff by updating the core Google Play Store itself.  As echoed earlier,  you take the security risk in to your own hand beyond supported.
