ofcourse with ur credits

no this will not remove ads in yahoo msgr present at bottom of msgr..rest of ads will be removed from this registry change

3. dEEPAK - July 31, 2006

@sandeep dude..i’ve used these changes.. it works even for the ads you are talking about

@dEEPAK dude.. check out yahoo messenger 8 final released.. like two days ago. those registry hacks won’t remove the bottom ad banner for this version. since sandeep dude’s post is from y’day i assume he’s actually right. not about ym 7.5 ‘course.

@dies.irae ohh.. is it so? actually for the past 2 weeks i’m on linux.. so i haven’t tried Y! 8 final yet.. i’ll check it out and see if i get any solution…

6. dies.irae - July 31, 2006

@dEEPAK there appears to be a solution even for y!m 8 final – at least it did the trick for me. something i came across 2day browsing, seems like it’s still based on those registry keys but then again, more: it wipes Yahoo!\Messenger\Cache\urls.xml and sets it to read-only. and yes they insist you should have y!m closed while making these changes.. they included a clean batch file to do the job. check this solution on:

Sorry about not posting in a while

I have build a .NET version of my Ad Destroy

available on my site :)

It should work on x32 and x64 vista

You should run it as administrator

Ad Destroy .NET beta and Ad Destroy 3.7 will patch all 3 9.0 beta builds

9.0.0.797
9.0.0.907
9.0.0.922

9.0 messenger trys to actively turn off read only on the urls.xml file.

Ad destroy will stop messenger doing that :)

People who are having problems with ads still showing from your ISP, just enter 0 in the custom registry field instead of *

Have fun!

2.Navigate to the following registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Yahoo\pager\Locale
3.In the right pane, locate a value named Enable Messenger
4.Ad with default value as 1. Set the value to 0.

The ads will be disappeared from Yahoo Messenger after restarting.
