That has nothing to do with making a tab... You're confusing things here. A tab is a html-page, nothing more, nothing less. MSN Messenger needs a link where all the different "settings" for a tab are stored. This link holds the definitions for a tab.

example of a definition of a tab:
<tab>
  <image>http://www.neowin.net/tab/images/tab.png</image>
  <name>Neowin.NET</name>
  <tooltip>Neowin.net. Where unprofessional journalism looks better.</tooltip>
  <contenturl>http://www.neowin.net/tab/</contenturl>
  <hidden>false</hidden>
</tab>


Back in the "old" days (Messenger 6.0), the file ConfigCache.xml held these difinitions. You could easly edited them. Now with Messenger 6.1, the ConfigCache.xml is placed on a server which has a tab-service. It is THAT link that you could patch to use other services.

You see, there is a big difference... You can make your own tabs easly (as they are just html-pages, for example: http://www.neowin.net/tab/), and this can't screw up messenger. There is no patching involved.

To use your tab, you need a service that is capable of showing custom tabs... http://www.msnfanatic.com/tabserv/ is such a service. I suggest to take a look there and also http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=20...d=192366#pid192366
