Arrow TUTORIAL: Enable an Extra Tab Add-ins in Windows Live Messenger Options Dialog Box

Guys

Did you know there is an extra hidden tab in Windows Live Messenger Option dialog box? Its called "Add-ins". I don’t know why its hidden by default? Today I found a registry hack to enable it in WLM while playing with WLM’s EXE file in Resource Hacker.

Before:



After:



So here is step-by-step tutorial to enable it:

1.
Open regedit and goto:
Code:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MSNMessenger
2. In right-side pane, create a new DWORD value and give it name “AddInFeatureEnabled” and set its value to 1

3. Thats it. Now open Windows Live Messenger and goto “Tools -> Options” and you’ll see a new tab "Add-ins" at last.

Above information can also be read here.
