Remove the Ads In Yahoo Messenger
Sunday, 30 July 2006

I found something useful while Im reading the Google Operating System blog and Im happy to share it with you guys 

If you install the newest Yahoo Messenger 8.0 (and I'm sure it's hard to resist to Yahoo's update dialogs), you'll notice a very annoying animated ad at the bottom of the main window.

Yahoo Messenger Ads


How to get rid of the ads?

 

1. Save this file (.reg text file) to your desktop and execute it.

2. Delete this file:
C:\Program Files\Yahoo!\Messenger\cache\urls.xml.

The .reg 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 (only the first two are essentials):

Messenger Ad
Y Content
Webcam Upload Ad
Webcam Viewer Ad
Webcam Viewer Ad Big
Webcam Viewer Ad Medium
Change Room Banner
Conf Adurl
Chat Adurl


Removing the ads


If you install new versions of Yahoo Messenger, you'll have to repeat the steps above, as Yahoo setup rewrites the registry entries.
