Multiple Instances of yahoo messenger

Yahoo Messenger
is a popular instant messaging software around. Yahoo messenger, by default, runs only a single copy on a single machine so for people with multiple yahoo id's this is a problem. Here is a short snippet that makes yahoo messenger to run multiple versions.

REGEDIT
Open the registry editor.
Start > Run > regedit

Navigate to


+- HKEY_CURRENT_USER
+- Software
+- yahoo
+- pager


Create a new key inside pager named Test
Now inside the Test folder create REG_DWORD named pluralwith value 1.

Now you should be able to run multiple instances of yahoo messenger.

Alternate Method

Copy paste the text below exactly to a file with extension ".reg"


REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\yahoo\pager\Test]
"Plural"=dword:00000001



Double click the reg file and press "yes".

Thats all folks
