@YM
I don’t know why you’d want to get rid of the folders under Messenger. I’d leave em be.
res_msgr.dll is a file that holds all the resources for YM to function. It has most of the menu text for different languages, as well as many of the icons and other images used to make the program visible. I doubt you can make Messenger work without that file.

I use a simple disassembler and a hex editor.
I write programs in ASM. Understanding assembly language takes a large effort. But, the hex editor I use is Mael’s HxD. I use a few different disassemblers, but for this, I use a simple one called disasm by Sang Cho.

Thank’s dedndave. Also i’m trying to delete all the folders in the YM program files, but there are four folders left that just won’t go away
, i get a message that says cannot delete res_msgr:access denied. Make sure disk is not full or write-protected.
Do you have any idea how I can clean up YM on program files? I already unistalled my YM and removed the yahoo folder from regedit.
Thank’s for your help.

@YM
you need to rename the patch file to YahooMesenger.exe
then, locate the Messenger folder
(usually C:\Program Files\Yahoo!\Messenger)
delete or rename the original YahooMessenger.exe file (something like YM_Original.exe)
finally, place the patched file into the Messenger folder

As yet, I have not learned to write plug-ins for Messenger. It is something I am interested in. If I am not mistaken, in order for a plug-in to work, it must be approved by the Yahoo Plug-In Management team. I am not sure about this. You might try wackyB – they have many plug-in author gurus.

@dedndave
can you please create a plug-in for windows media player 11 that will display in my Yahoo! Messenger 9 status the song I am listening too?
there are many plug-ins for Yahoo Messenger 8, but they are not working on 9.

Thank you dedndave. Great work!

@ “someone”
I am not sure what you mean. The ads should
not re-appear if you replaced the YahooMessneger.exe file with the patched one.
As for Ymsgr_tray.exe, I do not like the little grey icon in the task bar notification
area when I am signed out, so I always rename
Ymsgr_tray.exe to Ymsgr_tray.ex_ , or you can
just delete the file if you never want the
option of getting the icon back.
@ “Messifan”
This patch only removes the main window ad.
If you want a patch that removes most of the other ads, I suggest Tim or Dermot’s patches.
I intend to write a similar patch program
when I get some time. I also want to remove the chat transition window. But, at the moment, I am buried in a few other projects.

It would be nice to also have a patched Ymsgr_tray.exe
because if you use “Close & Sign out” option, the ads reappear once you login again.
March 25th, 2009 20:02
many thx for the latest patch
but one question… how can I get rid from the chat-advert?? first the place is blank but after a while there’s an advert again under the main chat window..
anyway thx for patching this fast
