two messengers but want one plus ! by marina on 08-08-2005 at 01:04 PM

i use windows messenger at work. its allowed by the company, but just that 5.1 version.
so, i also use de msn messenger (ssshhhh :-#) and i have plus! installed too.
BUT... and here is my question... i dont want Plus! running on the windows messenger.

AFAIK there isn't a way to do this I'm afraid.

I think if you use one of the alternate hooking modes you might be able to achieve this. Check out this post.

no , chaotic. it doesnt work.
any other suggestion?

Out of curiosity, could I know why you wouldn't want Plus! in Windows Messenger? it's not supposed to cause you any problem even if you don't use its features after all...

i think its because with msn messenger she like hides it or something and she shoulda have it and shes only allowed windows messenger so if she gets caqht with addons or somethign more than windows messenger she might get ionto trouble:P


RE: two messengers but want one plus ! by marina on 08-09-2005 at 12:39 PM

something like that, dylan...;)
but mainly because i can keep msn messenger hiding, but windows messenger not; because im not only allowed to use it but i should do it most of the time. but if someone approches my computer, i dont want them to see any differences on the regular windows messenger that i should have^o). get what i mean?
ex: the warning message on the conversation window.
i use the "boss alert" for the new version of messenger, while i dont use it on the 5.1; still, PLUS! reads in my menu bar and "Never give out your password or credit card number in an instant message conversation" in the chat window.
am i clear now?
thanks for your suggestions. still trying...8-)

For that matter, why not just use Windows Messenger, Or are you a features freak.


RE: two messengers but want one plus ! by marina on 08-09-2005 at 02:46 PM

would i post here if using just windows messenger is the answer im looking for?

Well, it is an alternative.
RE: two messengers but want one plus ! by ShawnZ on 08-09-2005 at 02:51 PM

Uh, why not just not have windows messenger running atall then just hide msn messenger when you need to? 8-)

Just so you know this is not caused by Messenger Plus! but by MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger alone. It will go away after opening 5 conversation windows.

I can try and convince Patchou to add a registry key that will force Plus! to only hook certain versions of Messenger.
RE: two messengers but want one plus ! by marina on 08-09-2005 at 08:17 PM

i know, i know...
maybe i didnt clarify, that my window messenger has a "company warning" that was override by the "messenger warning" (the one you quoted) when i installed plus!. and no, it wont go away.

"I can try and convince Patchou to add a registry key that will force Plus! to only hook certain versions of Messenger"
that would be great.


RE: two messengers but want one plus ! by trini on 08-09-2005 at 09:25 PM

Heh, it's simple, just rename msmsgs.exe to something else and Plus! won't come up when you start it.


RE: two messengers but want one plus ! by ShawnZ on 08-09-2005 at 09:28 PM

um, yes it will...

and that breaks stuff anyways.


RE: two messengers but want one plus ! by trini on 08-09-2005 at 09:43 PM

Hm.. I'm using windows messenger and msn messenger, did rename msmsgs.exe to msmsgs2.exe and Plus! does not start with it... It did ask me first time do I want to repair it, I just ticked the box 'never show this window again' and it did leave me alone.


RE: two messengers but want one plus ! by ShawnZ on 08-09-2005 at 09:57 PM

uh.. then thats why :P


RE: two messengers but want one plus ! by Patchou on 08-09-2005 at 11:02 PM

As you're not the first one to ask for this, I give up, you'll have your option :p. It will be a reg setting in Messenger Plus! 3.60 :).
