Ok so just some useful info:

That registry thing simply toogles the option the same way you do when you go to Skin's control panels.

Try to open up regedit.exe and look for "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Patchou\Messenger Plus! Live\GlobalSettings\Skins\<Skin Name Here>\Settings" in that panel with the folders. When you click settings you'll see:
  • Name: name of the option as described in SkinInfo.xml
  • Type: REG_DWORD for Yes/No options and REG_SZ for multiple choice options, as defined by SkinInfoxml
  • Data: A string for REG_SZ types and 0 (off) or 1 (on) for REG_DWORD types.

When you go to a skin's control panel, Plus! modifies the registry for you. When you open up that .reg file, that file will force add/change what's defined by it.
Take a look:
code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Patchou\Messenger Plus! Live\GlobalSettings\Skins\Wii Messenger\Settings]
"GentlemenMORECORN"=dword:00000001
"GentlemenFillMeWithBBQSauce"=dword:00000001
"GentlemenAGITATETHEHELLOUTOFTHISSNAKE"=dword:00000001

In this case, GentlemenMORECORN REG_DWORD 1, GentlemenFillMeWithBBQSauce REG_DWORD 1, GentlemenAGITATETHEHELLOUTOFTHISSNAKE REG_DWORD 1 will manually be added to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Patchou\Messenger Plus! Live\GlobalSettings\Skins\Wii Messenger\Settings. If Wii Messenger's SkinInfo.xml don't mention any of those, it will have no results. Simple as that. Hope that helps =)

Nope. You've got to change some Definition files, adding those options, then declare both options and definitions with SkinInfo.xml, and only then add the keys to the registry.
So, nope. There's no easy way to remove the ads without touching anything but SkinInfo.xml
