  8. Thanks so much! Afer added new key, must sign out and exit program to active new change.

  9. Just wondering, admin - how’d you find out? Perhaps there are other messenger programs that this can be done with, and the same method you used to find where YMessenger stored its ads in the registry might help with finding the ads for, say, AIM, or MSN.

  10. worked fine but keeps causing cams to freeze … removing strings allowed cams to work fine again … any ideas?

  11. Thks NYCpaint,

The “Change Room Banner”, worked when I made a webpage, saved it to my hard drive and put the address of the page in the value spot.(ie data value :”file://c:/ffrr/me.html”)

    Once long ago I found a progy that added this text to “Chat Adurl”.
