How to Remove Ads from Yahoo Messenger
I had done this loong time ago , but recently i started using yahoo messenger a lot and these ads
are really annoying . I got hold of a bat file which i had previously .The ads on yahoo messenger can be removed by running this .bat file.
Steps :
- Logout Yahoo Messenger and exit it.
- Run .bat file
- Login Now and you are done ..
No more ads ! It works with the latest messenger too..
Condition:
You won't be able to enter the chat rooms, so if you use this feature, don't run the patch.
What happens when you run this .bat file ?
The .bat file you've just downloaded edits most registry values related to the ads in Yahoo Messenger from HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ Yahoo\pager\YUrl, replacing the data with a dummy asterisk. Here's the list of string values:
Messenger Ad
Webcam Upload Ad
Webcam Viewer Ad
Webcam Viewer Ad Big
Webcam Viewer Ad Medium
Change Room Banner
Conf Adurl
Chat Adurl
If you install new versions of Yahoo Messenger, you will have to repeat the steps above, as Yahoo setup rewrites the registry entries.
Maybe Yahoo will make it still tougher to remove ads like this ..
