i use it all the time. it disables opening msn at startup (it stays in systray but doesnt open main window) and tabs. what it doesnt do, is disabling msn today window after signing in.

I did some further testing of this...

Simply setup MSN Messenger (v7.5.0299) as you wish it ...

export the key:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MSNMessenger]

and import it into your uA media.

...and all will be as it was, for the users and

passports setup at the time the key was exported.

Even with it setup as you wish, any new user/passport logging in

still would get default settings. (eg, msn today window popup. tabs showing, etc)

By exporting this key, and importing it into the uA installation

you personally, will have ALL your settings as you like them.

( no popup window, no tabs displayed, etc)

EDIT: sept 3, 2005 - CAUTION: the above method WILL also include your current email address(s) [and possibly the password - not verified]

removing the following 2 entries under "PerPassportSettings" will fix this:

DefaultMemberName

DefaultIdentityMigrated

Is it a reg to disable the "quality agent" (tools / options / general)

Non of the reg tweaks work for me to disable tabs

@BoardBabe, the tweak below works only for the passports that were used before exporting the regpart. But I think only if you run your regtweaks at T12!!

Since this is a HKEY_CURRENT_USER tweak.

You can run your regtweaks.reg file at T12 by adding a line to your cmdlines.txt file and put both the cmdlines.txt and the regtweaks.reg file in $OEM$.

add this line:

"REGEDIT /S regtweaks.reg"

My cmdlines.txt:

[COMMANDS]
"RunOnceEx.cmd"
"REGEDIT /S regtweaks.reg"
"gebruikers.cmd"
"CHKNTFS /T:0"
"rundll32.exe iernonce.dll,RunOnceExProcess"

(btw the last line makes RunOnceEx.cmd run at T12 instead of after the restart.. it is a lot faster this way

but thats offtopic.

I hope this helps.

Also, checkout www.apatch.tk !

It can patch A LOT more then the mess.be patcher!
