Tweak to remove the annoying ads that is displayed in Yahoo Messenger chat and web-cam window.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you have installed the newest Yahoo Messenger 8.0 or Yahoo Messenger 7.5 you’ll notice a very annoying animated ad at the bottom of the main window, web-cam & chatroom etc.. I’m sure it’s hard to resist to Yahoo’s update dialogs. Here is a simple how-to tutorial to remove ads in Yahoo Messenger 7.5 and higher.<\/p>\n

Save the below code with .reg extension
\n
\nWindows Registry Editor Version 5.00
\n[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Yahoo\\Pager\\YUrl]
\n\"Messenger Ad\"=\"*\"
\n\"Webcam Upload Ad\"=\"*\"
\n\"Webcam Viewer Ad\"=\"*\"
\n\"Webcam Viewer Ad Bid\"=\"*\"
\n\"Webcam Viewer Ad Medium\"=\"*\"
\n\"Change Room Banner\"=\"*\"
\n\"Conf Adurl\"=\"*\"
\n\"Chat Adurl\"=\"*\"
\n<\/code><\/p>\n

then double click the file to update the registry with new settings for Yahoo Messenger.<\/p>\n

or alternatively Open Regedit, navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\ Yahoo\\pager\\YUrl<\/code> and create a new string value named Messenger Ad that has the value * (an asterisk). Similarly create the following keys and assign '*'<\/code> as the value.
\n
\nWebcam Upload Ad
\nWebcam Viewer Ad
\nWebcam Viewer Ad Big
\nWebcam Viewer Ad Medium
\nChange Room Banner
\nConf Adurl
\nChat Adurl
\n<\/code><\/p>\n
