That option has got nothing todo with tabbed chats.

Tabbed chats are disabled and that "enhance toolbar" option is disabled because you were using Windows Messenger 5.

There is no "MSN 5", nor "MSN Messenger 5" (well there was at one point, but they are long long gone). What you were using is "Windows Messenger 5".

This shows why it is important to get the names correct of the programs you use.

- The "MSN Suite" has got not much todo with "Windows Messenger", nor with "MSN Messenger".
- "Windows Messenger" is also a different program than "MSN Messenger".

If you want to use abbrivations use "msnmsgr" or "winmsgr", but not "msn".

So the post you just made was stupid, you said for those who can't help don't post you didnt help you just told him what he was using.

Like previously said, they weren't, they aren't, and they'll never be the same.

Windows Messenger was made by the developers at the Microsoft .NET service and looks like this. It's included with Windows XP and is more for business use.

MSN Messenger is a program of the MSN group. It's more pointed to the younger public with more exciting features and MSN Messenger needs Windows Messenger for some features to work in MSN Messenger. (That's also why we strongly recommend not to use those crappy WinMsgr removal tools. )

That's the reason why that feature is disabled when configuring Messenger Plus! for Windows Messenger, it's useless in Windows Messenger!
