You shall export a resource with the type 4000 (dunno which one) and then edit it and replace it back.

MsgPlus! isn't illegal... It doesn't do any patches to messenger or any of it's DLL's.

I'm not sure if editing msgres.dll is illegal though.

I didn't meant MsgPlus!'s illegal.

But MsgPlus! does fool Messenger to load another UIFILE, it's the resoucre you change when you want to add buttons etc.
It is like ResourceHacking

But it isn't illegal at all, and it is nothing like resource editing because it doesn't change the resource. Just use something like Messenger Discovery Live! It seems alot more stable now than from the public beta.

O.P. RE: Rename the windows live messenger
I know this may be a little of the subject but i have tried to use MDL! and it never seems to do anything to my wlm at all. So even if the answer was resilved in MDL! i wouldn't be able to use it:P

...anyway all that doesn't answer my question, is the ResHacking illegal or not?
:P:P:P

Technically reshacking is against the EULA... However plenty of people do it.

MDL! wont do anything with messenger unless you set it to using the menus or the icon in the task bar.

I think you can't edit the messenger files so it might be kind of illegal but Microsoft probably wouldn't care anyway.
