.........the key has never existed at all!
It WAS POSSIBLE to enable the ddebug mode when Messenger was BETA.
There is no need to download any .reg file. Plus! does all the work for you, and ALL skins work perfectly.

Update: Read the whole thread, wich is not that big:

It's a registry file which adds the DUIDebug value in order to make Messenger Beta load the old layout files. This registry value however no longer has any effect on the Windows Live Messenger 9 RC version. There's no way to make the new version load those old layout files, simply because that registry value was used for debugging and because those old layout files are most likely already removed from the RC.

Since we can no longer use the old style of changing the layouts of Messenger through XML (UIFILE), we have to wait for the new layout format to be reverse-engineered, documented and implemented in Plus! until we can make skins for this new Messenger version. This is also the reason why Plus! is currently only partially compatible with this version: it loads and hooks into Messenger, but it can't modify the windows to add buttons such as  the Plus! button and text formatting tools.

For the time being, either downgrade to version 8.5 or version 9.0 Beta in order to use Plus!, or simply stay with the new version and wait patiently... :)

Ok. I won't do anything. If you still want to think it won't work without that .reg file, fine. But don't make other people think it is needed because it is not.

:p

Don't think I'm asking questions because I have rep and some posts. I'd do it if I was a nub as well.

As far as I'm concerned the megaupload link was waving a red flag as you are a new member. Then, you proceed to insist that you need a RegHack to use the skins you've "provided", which you don't (as all forum regulars know).

Before trying to help other people, ask if help is already provided and, if it is, think of alternate ways you can help. Simple

I know you were trying to help, but you can't post something wich is incorrect and let it go.
But here, take a look:

This information is completely wrong.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\DUIDebug]
"Binary"=dword:00000000
then i can change the dp position otherwise its a no go so how would u do it then change the dp without a horrible skin ??? that skin i posted up does not modify the look in any way unless u tell it to
This registry entry just won't do anything. It's like adding
xml code:
<--! a comment -->
in a .xml file.
So, what would be the difference between with and without that entry? None. Then skins work the same way in both cases. wich makes your post again completely wrong.

Same as above.

First, about the italics part: Gučna's skin is a normal .plsk file. It sure works without your "workaround".
Second, about the underlined parts: Speaking (or typing, in this case) is easy, but I want you see how good can you make it by yourself. Don't like the skins? Suggest what you think would make them better. Still hate them? No problems. But you don't need to go and call people who made those skin's "people who only want to make skins for themselves".

It's true. Partially, but true. Why would someone do something they dislike? By the way, you pay them? I'm sure you don't. They all do it for free, and they really do what they want to, still in the way they think people will like the most. Calling them "selfish people" hurts, didn't you know? If you dislike those that much, why don't you make your own skins? Then come here to criticise other people.

And as Spunky said while I was typing all this:

It's not only because it worked for you it has/will work for everyone. Also, take a look at this example:
"Turning off the lights before turning your computer on is the only way to make it work. REALLY! I've tested it, and it really turns on if the lights are off."
See? That's what you've typed, but with other objects. Read "Discours de la méthode pour bien conduire sa raison, et chercher la verité dans les sciences", by René Descartes, you'll see why your workaround isn't valid. (If you're not going to read it, as I think, it will be considered invalid because you haven't done step one: receiving the information, verifying if it's true and it's procedences, to then examin it's racionality and justificative. Then only accept what's undoubtably true. In your case, you haven't even checked if the information was true.)
