O.P. Alert When Closing Mass Conversations or Blocking
I expect all of you know about the alert you get when you close a mass conversation, or block someone. The one that says "Are you sure you want to do this?" blah blah. And then you have the tick box underneath. I am quite sure I never ticked that, because I like to have to alert, but since I installed StuffPlug, the alert has gone. Now, I disabled StuffPlug, and it didn't come back, so maybe I did tick it, saying I didn't want it to ask me everytime, I dunno, I dont remember ticking it... But is there anyway I can get it back? I have un-installed and re-installed MSN, but nope, nothing.
Oh, and i'm not using the BETA.

Any help?

You can try uninstalling StuffPlug and see if it comes back.

I said I had disabled it. :p
I did fully un-install.. Didn't do anything to help at all.
Surely there must be a way to switch this back on? :undecided:

Probably is, it's just not on show. I'll do some research. Are you running 7.0 or 6.2?

Okay well I wrote to MSN which my reply was:

My name is Basti and I understand that you want to see the pop up again that asks you "Are you sure you want to do this?" in MSN Messenger. I know how important this service is to you and let me assist you.

Please take note that this message appears only once, that is once you are invited by someone to add on the contact list or closing a conversation window for the very first you had the conversation with one contact. It will not appear anymore.

Right. Well, I'm running Windows Vista right now so I don't know how accurate this is, but I'm pretty sure its the same on any other system.

First off, MSN Messenger stores these settings in the register. So, we'll need regedit. Close MSN Messenger completely (I think signing off will do, but just close it to be sure). Then go to start --> run and type "regedit" and hit start/run/ok whatever the label says.

Then locate the folder "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MSNMessenger\PerPassportSettings".  In this folder you will find a couple of subfolders, each labeled with an ID (large number). To figure out your id, go to http://siebe.bot2k3.net/scripts/msn/id.php, fill in your email address and click "calculate".

Once you have your ID open up that folder in regedit and then look for three values, DSFTWarn, DSIMBlock & DSIMClose. The first is to warn you when someone sends you a file, the second when you block someone and the last one for when you try to close the window. If you double click them you will be able to edit their values.

The editing is a bit tricky, so here is how you can do it best: double click on them to bring up the edit dialog. Put your cursor after the first "01" (if correctly it should read "01 00 00 00") so your cursor would be somewhere like "01| 00 00 00" there. Now hit backspace, and type a zero ("0"). It should now read "00 00 00 00". Voila, youre done. Clikc OK (or w/e) and close regedit. Open up Messenger and sign in again. The warnings should have been reset.

I wonder why Messenger support doesn't give you these tips :P *cough*
