Im a returning user to msgplus. I used it when it was version 3, but found it unnecessary and kind of annoying. But now the feature ive always wanted after i started using firefox - tabbed chat - is avaliable with msgplus! so you've converted me back.

However i still don't like msgplus invading my msn.

For example, msgplus adds the "Messenger Plus! Extras" context menu into the main window, couldnt this be renamed "More Options" or something, or maybe an option to remove this menu.

Same goes with the personalised status, which i don't use either, could that menu be disabled when you have no extra status?

Im not trying to be insulting, tabbed chat, contact renaming and boss protection are all features i use and love, and i thank you for spending ur time making these features avaliable. But i don't want all these plus! signs and menus throught my msn.

There is a registry option, ImprovePopupMenus, that will prevent adding the Messenger Plus! menus when set to false. It seems that this is what you're after

Patchou realises that and therefore he has added a lot of registry options to disable or change these little things. At http://www.msgplus.net/help_registry.php you can find a list of them and a little program to change them if you're not comfortable enough editing the registry manually

thanx 4 replying

ive just tried installing th Msgplus tweak tool and it says:

"Run-time error '339': Component 'COMCTL32.OCX' or one of it's dependencies not correctly registered; a file is missing or invalid."

Any reason why it does this

Make sure you have the file comctl32.ocx present on your system.
Download it here and put it in the same folder

cheers

just one more question. Is there anyway to disable the config wizard each time a new user signs in?

No, you cannot disable that wizard. Patchou himself wrote

More information: Default settings to all new accounts

meh, kind of annoying but fair enough i suppose. However a note to Patchou if he reads this: maybe a better security feature would be to disable chat logging by default.

Anyway thanks for your help. My MSNs much cleaner now.
