Are you sure that you have checked the option in the StuffPlug preferences, and then have restarted msn messenger?

Yes yes i am sure... It does not work with Maxthon or MyIE2, apperently because it is based on IE, but i don't know

Same here, I restarted it, etc. and it refuses to work.

Let me guess: they're both based on IE? If so, that's why.

I should elaborate on this a little: this is a theory, so far shown to be true. If someone can find a couter-case, then we can work on finding what the true problem is.
Addition: Also, check Control Panel | Add/Remove Progams | Set Program Access and Defaults (XP only)

Yeah I have looked at that, Maxthon is not listed in it. There is just Internet Explorer and Use My Current Web Browser to choose from. I have Use My Current Web Browser selected

*ding ding ding*
That dialog should list all installed browsers. As it doesn't list Maxthon, that means that it isn't a browser in its own right: more likely an IE shell. This will therefore explain your problem fully.

Of course, this means that there is no workaround that I know of. Sorry.

Why not? Can't you point messenger to the Maxthon exe? Why does it need to be the default browser? (I'm not ignorant, just confused is all )

I don't know how Messenger and SPNG handle this default browser stuff, but just pointing Messenger/SPNG to Maxthon, while it would work, would require a significant recoding on SPNG's part.

Well, I dunno how to make a .cmd file, but I couldn't get that to work. I tried also pointing that reg key to maxthon.exe and it didn't work.

You don't want a .cmd file, you want a .bat file.
