how do i delete registry, preferences... of a-patch, ghost, messpatch, plus?
and registry or preferences from my old account?
thanx to all

I don't think its possible to delete preferences of a-patch because its a patch and it changes msn messenger (I could be wrong but i don't think i am ).
To uninstall a-patch, you need to redownload it and choose the restore option...

All Preferences for Messenger Plus! are stored in
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Patchou\MsgPlus2\%email%

Please note, altering the registrty can heavily harm your system. We are not responsible for anything that happens to your PC direct or indirectly.

Check the Plus! or Msn Messenger directory (I don't know which one you patched)
for me this is:
Msn Messenger: C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger
Messenger Plus: C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger

Look for any .bak,.backup or otherwise odd files and remove the last extensions so they are back to their proper name:
For example, if you found in the messenger plus folder: MsgPlus1.exe.bak you'd delete MsgPlus1.exe (the file that was patched) and rename MsgPlus1.exe.bak to MsgPlus1.exe

I don't know what file your specific patch patches, it could be any of the dlls or the exes. Like msgslang.dll (msgslang.dll.bak or MsgPlusH.dll (MsgPlusH.dll.bak) - just look for any backup extensions or a filename with two extensions, it could even be MsgPlusH.dll.RES) - it depends on your patcher.

This is assuming the patch program (it should do) makes a backup before patching.

Good Luck
