Dose Any1 no how 2 make a plug-in work 4 only 1 windows user.
eg.
Me - My windows Account 'Charlie'
My Sis - Her windows Account 'Sister'

I'm using Windows XP.
The plug in that i dont want her with access with is the StuffPlug in.
Any ideas?

And i have Admin Access and so does she but i dont no her windows password or msn password.

I don't think there is a way. Sorry.

if u have admin access, i think u can browse through the registry and fids your sisters account in HKEY_USERS then find the MsgPlus2 key and disable StuffPlug NG.

I'm not sure but it might work.

In the Registry I found this.

quote:

---

[HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1645522239-448539723-725345543-1003\Software\Patchou\MsgPlus2\[email address]\Preferences\Plugins\stuffplug-ng.dll]

---

Then i found this tag

quote:

---

"Enable"=dword:0x00000001 (1)

---

Then i changed it to

quote:

---

"Enable"=dword:0x00000000 (0)

---

That disabled it for that email address.
But would this work on every1's computer?
Can some people have a look 4 me?
Thanks

If you are 200% sure that "S-1-5-21-1645522239-448539723-725345543-1003" is the ID of your sisters windows account, then yes, that would disable StuffPlug-NG for that MSN account. But the person of whom that ID belongs to, only needs to login in Messenger with [email address] and has to enable StuffPlug-NG again in the plugin section to let it work again.

But also, as said, are you sure that that ID is your sisters?... Cause every windows account on the computer has its own ID under \HKEY_USERS. It's very possible that you've changed the settings of your own account...

You need to know that \HKEY_USERS is something you should never fiddle with unless you know 500% sure about what you're exactly doing. Because you could easly changing other peoples windows account....

If you simply wanted to alter her plugins settings on her MSN account and you are all using the same Windows account (note the difference between MSN account and actual Windows account) then you should stay away from \HKEY_USERS and the proper key to alter is:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Patchou\MsgPlus2\[email address]\Preferences\Plugins\stuffplug-ng.dll
and nothing else! But as said above, she only needs to enable it again to use it again, so this is no "protection" at all.


Golden tip: Never alter anything in \HKEY_USERS

If you are using XP Pro and have Administrator privileges and are using NTFS, you can apply special permissions to StuffPlug's DLL file:

1. Locate Plus! plugin directory, i.e. Program Files\Messenger Plus! 3\Plugins
2. Enable advanced security settings control by going: Tools\Folder Options -> View\Advanced Settings -> UNCHECK "Use simple file sharing (Recommended)". Click OK.
3. Right-click on StuffPlug DLL file, select "Properties".
4. In "Security" tab, modify the permission of your sister's windows account. Generally, just deny everything and so on.
5. That way, Windows will ban any access, requested by your sister's account, to StuffPlug DLL file. And then Plus! can't load StuffPlug under your sister's windows account, for sure

If you are using XP Home, you can still do this in Safe Mode, but I don't know if they'll work perfectly though...

(The terms may be different; I'm using a Chinese Windows)

mmm... I don't undestand what's dangerous in stuffplug to make it disabled

just asking...

I just researched the registy and found the same stuff as i typed before under HKEY_CURRENT_USER. So i must of been looking @ my own account. O well Back to the drawing board.
Is there anyway 2 find out the ID code of an account?

-------

2 answer 2 the question about y i want it disabled is because i dont want her 2 be able 2 use the Big Display Pic option.

Charlie

is it in a spiteful "ha ha i can get big display pics and you cant" kind of way, or some other reason?

yer sort of. Also if she works out how 2 do it she'll send it 2 her firends and my BIG serect will be out Then its not that good anymore
