MSN 6 "Expression" Tab

Featured Replies

I just found a new tab pop-up in MSN 6 today...

- removed - (pm me for the pic)

To add it to your tabs, go to C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Microsoft\MSN Messenger\<number id>\ConfigCache.Xml and add these lines after one of the tabs:

<tab>
<image>http://messenger.msn.com/emotitab/images/hivetab_icon.png</image>
<name>MSN Messenger Community</name>
<tooltip>Express yourself with MSN Messenger!</tooltip>
<contenturl>http://messenger.msn.com/emotitab/emoticons.htm</contenturl>
<hiturl>http://c.msn.com/c.gif?DI=2308&TP=http://messengertabs.msn.com/us/MSN Messenger Community</hiturl>
</tab>

Then you should see that little happy face! :)


They should be there already...

Not necessarily, it differs for each country.

This tutorial has been quite helpful, thank you.

I only have one question (off-topic). Where did you get your skin for MSN Messenger; I'm assuming it's just a Windows skin...

I'm sorry, i don't really think i phrased my question all that well...

Thanks

what about the ones for france ? i tried but they didnt work, i only got the finance tab and alert tab, i want the others,and expression tab

We have all posted the tab codes on the first page as well as the expression tab, simply add it to your configcache.xml file.

I cant seem to get any tabs to display, although the code is all there in the configCache file, any idea where the option to enable them is?

Uncheck the box "This is a shared computer so don't display my tabs" in Tools > Options > Privacy.
