Excellent bit of software :thumbsup:
The site has problems with Firefox, so you'll need to use IE.

Very good once you get it right.

I inadvertantly removed some useful stuff and forgot to remove some of the bloat on the first time I ran the patch. A simple re-run sorted it but the best advice I can give is to read every line very carefully to maximise enjoyability.

You can also disable the adverts by using Visual Studio 2003, but this is easier and does more ;)

No ad's, no extra bloat at all? (I'm running it right now, it uses 1 meg when minimized and 4 when open)

Just curious why many people hack up MSN Messenger, when Windows Messenger is right there?
Probably cuz you can pick and choose what you want removed from MSN Messenger using those third-party add-ons, and continue using other features not available in Windows Messenger. Just a guess...
