O.P. Hooking Messenger Plus! 3
Specs:
MSN Messenger 6.2 (build 133 - WindowsX version)
Messenger Plus! 3.01
MessengerDiscovery (build 2512).
(Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Ed.)

Problem:
On boot, Messenger Plus! fails to hook with MSN Messenger.

The registry has these entries:
HKCU: MessengerDiscovery -- C:\Program Files\MessengerDiscovery\MessengerDiscovery.exe
HKCU: MessengerPlus3 -- "C:\Program Files\Messenger Plus! 3\MsgPlus.exe" /WinStart
HKCU: msnmsgr -- "C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger\msnmsgr.exe" /background (yet only when MSN Messenger is running, as it should be, I recon?)

The registry does not have these entries:
Normal MsgPlus.exe entries (without /WinStart)

Detailed description:
MSN Messenger starts on boot, right after MessengerDiscovery, yet Plus! isn't hooked with MSN Messenger. When I close MSN Messenger and restart it, there still is no hook. When I close it, start Plus! (without the /winstart of course), then start MSN Messenger, Plus! is present and hooked properly.
* lhunath reboots a few times and tries to figure out more.

Ps./ At times, MessengerDiscovery fails to perform some of its tasks, like, removing the Mobile group, or changing the taskbar title, hooking issues as well?

Thanks to those interrested in giving some advice.

Edit./
I deleted the MessengerPlus3 /WinStart entry => Messenger didn't start anymore.
I added it again and added a normal MessengerPlus3 entry (without /WinStart) in HKLM => Problem solved.
So I recon Winstart doesn't run Plus! at all, it only delays MSN Messenger from being run?

Anyhow, sorry for a useless topic =|

Yet, I have one more issue, the fact that at times MSN Messenger ran itself twice... I think these are somehow closely entwined.
