MsgPlus is in a dutch PC magazine \o/ Thanks to Sunshine for posting me a copy I've scanned the 4-pages of MSN Messenger-related bits. A.Patch got its own half a column and Mess Patch wasn't even mentioned
It's in dutch obviously so only some people will be able to understand it, until one of them decides to translate. Until then you can just look at the pretty pictures

I've translated the A.Patch bit already for Ahmad so I'll post that.. It won't be perfect since neither is my dutch..
(starts bottom-right of page 30)
code:
By default MSN Messenger contains a variety of annoying things. For example the advertisements in the contact list. Luckily there are so-called patches available that can help you. With them you can select changes to the MSN-software via a simple wizard.
A good patch is A-Patch, which you can download for free at www.apatch.tk. Start the program you downloaded. The first window from A-Patch will appear. If you have installed MSN Messenger in the default folder, click on Next.
You will see the first list of options. All these options are to do with the contact list. To remove advertisements from the program check the "Remove Advertisement" box and to remove the search bar the option "Remove Search Bar". Have a look which other options are interesting to you.
Then click on Next. The next group of options are to do with the conversation windows. Here you can also check "Remove Advertisement". Click on Next again. Do you have no need for 'Nudges', the new MSN feature which shakes your conversation window? Check the "Disable Nudge Shake" box.
Click on Next. Check Polygamy if you want to be able to run more than one instance of MSN so you can log in with more than one account. Click on Apply to apply all your modifications.
Now who wants to go and translate the rest?
