Turn off error-causing ads from Yahoo! Messenger 8
Most users complain about the error pop-ups rooted from the ads attached to their Yahoo! IM clients. Turning off from the registry is the best way shun them.
In the registry,
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Yahoo\Pager\YUrl]
Set or add these values,
Messenger Ad = * Webcam Upload Ad = * Webcam Viewer Ad = * Webcam Viewer Ad Medium = * Webcam Viewer Ad Big = * Change Room Banner = * Conf Adurl = * Chat Adurl = *
Edit the file \Program Files\Yahoo!\Messenger\Cache\urls.xml, erase all the contents and leave 2 double quotes (” “), save it then mark as read-only.
Interesting… I’d try this as soon as I get back to Windows. Thanks!
