1.) Remove the Big AD from the main yahoo screen, where we see our buddy list:

  • a.) Open “%Program files%\Yahoo\Messenger\YahooMessenger.exe” file into a Hex Editor.
  • b.) Goto the offset 3981AC and change the string “enabled” to anything you want.

2.) Remove other ADs like in chat window, webcam, etc:

  • a.) Open notepad and paste the following code:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\yahoo\pager\YUrl]
“First Login Beacon”=”*”
“Tutorials”=”*”
“Messenger Help”=”*”
“Voice General Help”=”*”
“Change Room Banner”=”*”
“Address Book”=”*”
“Finance Disclaimer”=”*”
“Messenger Ad”=”*”
“Chat Adurl”=”*”
“Calendar Alert Ad URL”=”*”
“Conf Adurl”=”*”
“Mail Alert Ad URL”=”*”
“News Alert Ad URL”=”*”
“Personals Alert Ad URL”=”*”
“Stock Alert Ad URL”=”*”
“Webcam Viewer Ad Medium”=”*”
“Webcam Viewer Ad Big”=”*”
“Webcam Viewer Ad”=”*”
“Webcam Upload Ad”=”*”
“Chat Transition Ad”=”*”
“N2Phone Adurl”=”*”

  • b.) Save the file with any name and extension .REG
  • c.) Run the file and merge it into registry.

    is there a way to remove the chat transition ad window altogether-title”connecting to yahoo! chat” and make it connect directly to the room dialog.
