It keeps going back in your favorites list after every reboot. Solution is to right click the folder, and make it hidden.

Doesn't work if you have all files shown. It only comes back when you activate ICQ.

You can either use ICQ PowerCrack from www.govital.net/~soz
Or just replace your ICQTsLib.dll with the one available from www.govital.net/~soz

Avoid those ICQ Clone programs like Miranda etc - they are definatly NOT superior. and they contain spyware. at least with ICQ you can get rid of the ads.

Any thoughts on how to do it manually? I'd rather not trust a downloaded .dll.

In ICQ 99b, open ICQCORE.DLL in a hex editor, find the string &quot;From ICQ&quot;
replace it with NUL and put a binary 00 at the end, after L.

ICQCORE.DLL
Find: 46 72 6F 6D 20 49 43 51 00
Replace: 4E 55 4C 00 00 00 00 00 00

For ICQ 2000 you have to edit ICQTsLib.dll

If you compare the ICQTsLib.dll from www.govital.net/~soz with the original you will find the above is the only difference.
