Shoutbox

Well when you take control of an object that User or Group of users becomes the owner, so doing one then the other won't matter as you are replacing Ownership.

Think of it this way... I buy a Car and now I am the owner. I give the Car to You and your Souse. Ownership has now been replaced. Same thing for the files in Windows.

Ohhh ok I understand now. Wait so was it a typo in your instructions?
You said to "Click Administrators and check the box that says Replace owner on subcontainers and objects > Click Apply"
That means the the Administrator is still the owner! I think you meant "click *users* and check the box etc etc" to make the user the owner?

No because if I am not mistaken the Users group may contain the Guests (now that I am typing it, it doesn't sound correct...). Regardless each user, unless a reason not to be, is a computer administrator. Therefore giving access to the Administrators group would be correct.

[edit]
After research it shows that, yes, the Guest account wouldn't be a part of the Users group but instead a part of the Guests group.
[/edit]

Wait so your solution works for guest accounts as well? Sorry I'm not very familiar with this cos I'm usually the administrator/user

No my steps would only work for users who are a part of the Administrators Group.

"Reason I didn't go with User level permissions was in case of a Guest account"?
Haha ok never mind let's just take my solution to be a backup for those people out there who can't seem to get it to work with yours! You're probably a lot better than me at this so you should know best

You need to do the following:

Click Start > Computer > C Drive > Program Files  > Yuna Software > Messenger Plus!

Then right click on WLM-Scripts (do the exact same for the WLM-Skins folder) > Click Properties > Click the Security Tab > Click Advanced > Click Owner > Click Edit > Click Administrators and check the box that says Replace owner on subcontainers and objects > Click Apply.

If the above doesn't work try the same however instead of Administrators try the Users group.

What version messager i need for is work i did same thing you says i still same probleme

This isn't Messenger version specific.

I tried everything you said, but it's still not working :/

I've tried all the solutions listed and I can't get them to work either.
I'm using Windows 7, MSN 2011, and I just installed Messenger Plus last night.

The error I get is:
Messnger Plus! 5
Error: the destination directory for the skin couldn't be created.
