Quick overview:
MSN Messenger 7 bietet über Registerkarten im linken Bereich des Programms viele Funktionen an, die sich mit Werbe- und Spamanbietern oder eigenen MSN Diensten (z.B. MSN Music) verbinden. Lästig, sagen wir und wenn Sie uns zustimmen, zeigen wir Ihnen, wie Sie diese Registerkarten auf schnellstem Wege entfernen:
Speed up MSN Messenger - here's how
1. Click on Start/Run and click on Run. Enter the command regedit here and confirm with Enter.
2. Expand the key path HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ Microsoft\MSNMessenger\PerPassportSettings and select each subkey that contains a number (e.g. 59111337) once. Search there for the value DisableTabs. If this is not available, right-click in the right-hand pane and select New/DWORD value.
3. Name this now DisableTabs, double-click on the newly created value and enter a 1.
After the next restart of MSN Messenger 7, you'll be rid of the annoying advertising index cards and can concentrate on the essentials: Chat carefree!
