Messer MoRiA is warning everyone who doesn't like the recently released MessengerDiscovery X to backup their registry BEFORE uninstalling the addon. Because of a nasty bug the uninstaller erases important keys "leaving you with no programs running on boot". We advise you to follow these instructions:

1) Click Start > Run and launch regedit.

2) Find and export these keys:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

3) Uninstall MessengerDiscovery X.

4) Back to the registry editor, check which Run key it deleted.

5) Merge the appropriate .reg file.

6) Manually delete the MessengerDiscovery X value (You could delete it from the .reg files before you merged, instead).

More information on backing up your registry file can be found here.

UPDATE: Timothy has made a small file that creates backups of the necessary registry keys. Get it here and follow the easy instructions.

We expect MDX developer ecko_complex to issue a fix as soon as possible.
