Registry hack guide for 7.0 beta
See Disabling the tabs in Messenger for a good explanation on how to use the
registry editor. Use this guide at your own risk.
Most changes require you to close all conversation windows and reopen them
after you made the change.
MSNMessenger
- AntiVirus
-
Full path to Anti virus software.
- DisableTabs
-
Set to 1 to remove the tabs in the contact list. See
Disabling the tabs in Messenger for a step-by-step explanation.
PerPassportSettings
Each email address you use to log in into MSN Messenger has an unique
numbered entry under the PerPassportSettings. Under each number you
can find the following keys:
- AllowBuzz
-
A value of 1 allows people to send you Nudges. Set to 0
to disallow Nudges. Also available as Options: Messages.
- IM Color
-
Font color of your instant messages. This is a hexadecimal
value of the form rrggbb00. So the left most 2 hexadecimal
digits define the amount of red, the next two to the amount of
green, etc.. You can just use "HTML
colors". Remove the # and don't forget to add two zeroes to
the end. For example: #ff6600 should be entered as: ff 66 00 00.
- FrameHidden
-
A value of 01 00 00 00 hides the frame of the conversation
window. A value of 00 00 00 00 shows the frame. You can
switch the value with the button with two arrows left
of the Invite icon.
- IMTBHide
-
Removes the toolbar above the message input line if you
set it to 00 00 00 00. The default value is 01 00 00 00.
- InkColor
-
The color of the ink in handwrite mode. This is a hexadecimal
value of the form rrggbb00. So the left most 2 hexadecimal
digits define the amount of red, the next two to the amount of
green, etc.. You can just use "HTML
colors". Remove the # and don't forget to add two zeroes to
the end. For example: #ff6600 should be entered as: ff 66 00 00.
See Handwriting with Messenger 7.0 beta on how to enable ink.
- InkPenSize
Sets the point size in handwrite mode:
- 0a 00 00 00 - Fine
- 64 00 00 00 - Normal
- c8 00 00 00 - Bold
A value of ff 0f 00 00 gives a huge point size. Sadly
the value is reset after you press send. Be careful with
very big values like ff ff 00 00, since the pen will fill
most of your screen.
- InkRuleHeight, InkRuleWidth
Sets the width and height of the grid in handwrite mode.
- 00 00 00 00 - Blank
- 0a 00 00 00 - Small grid
- 1e 00 00 00 - Medium grid
- 32 00 00 00 - Large grid
- ShowTaskBar
-
Removes the icons on top of the conversation window if you
set it to 00 00 00 00. The default value is 01 00 00 00.
