Is there a patch that will remove the tab buttons to the left of the contact list (I see 9 tabs in addition to the contact list tab) ?
Thanks

Go to Tools->Options->Security->Turn on "This is a shared computer so don't display my tabs".

Nice Screeny! Thanks!! One question though: other than removing the tabs, will that option affect any other feature?

there is a patch i think on mess.be

Nope This option does only remove the (useless) tabs, nothing else.


@Demz: You mean the "Mess Patch", don't you? But to remove the tabs you don't need any patch.
Anyway, it's a great patch

Allows you to patch MSN Messenger 7.0.0*** BETA with the following options: enable polygamy, install custom games, remove the (beta) tag, disable nudges, remove add contact label, remove msn search bar, remove banner ad, remove msn today button, fix nickname length, remove white (text ad) space from conversation windows, distinguish Idle from Away status (English version only), remove MSN logo (from main and conversation window), remove premium services (what's hot), remove conversation window search button, remove email button, remove my space button, remove all contact card buttons, swap now playing artist and song title, disable nudge protection, remove user is writing message, fix black border around display pictures, remove winks/packs and/or nudges buttons and change handwriting tab images to text.

@Demz: Possible... but I think Newbies don't use any patches, because the don't know that there are patches for MSN Messenger out there.

This is quite funny, because the old Mess Patch or A-Patch never used to actually remove the tabs, all they did was make the option visible in the Messenger settings itself!

So there is absolutely NO need for a patch anymore since the option is already there in Messenger, which is why the new versions of these patches don't have that option anymore!
