That's because you used the alternative method of hooking, which Patchou talked about:

go in the preferences, Misc section and enable Alternate Mode. Once this will be done, you can remove MsgPlus.exe from your startup and it won'T ever come back again after an update .

its just 3MB memory usage(max), and it adds a lot of features...

Well, if you happen to run a terminal server for 50 users then 3MB x 50 users = 150 MB. But what about 500 users?

Patchou, isn't it possible to create a minimum size exe which loads and unloads required modules (plugins?) on demand? Then it might be feasible to run MsgPlus on terminal server.

MsgPlus.exe doesn't actually take 3Mb of memory. The Task Manager never tells you how muc ha program really uses. Windows manages the memory of its programs dynamically, MsgPlus.exe only uses about 512Kb of memory actually.

In any case, if you setup Plus! to run in Alternate Attach Mode, then you can simply remove MsgPlus.exe all together from your system startup sequence, it won't be needed anymore to hook on Messenger.

Does this needs to be done by every user on the terminal server?

Is HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\MessengerPlus3="C:\Program Files\MessengerPlus! 3\MsgPlus.exe" the only entry for that?
