Make Yahoo a Multi Messenger

I have 2 Yahoo accounts and there was a bit problem for me because I couldn’t login with both the accounts at the same time. That’s why I had installed Trillian which is a multi-messenger but it was a difficult to use it and it was just not like Yahoo. I was not satisfied with it.

A couple of days back, I came to know about this hack via a friend’s blog by which we can even make Yahoo like a multi-messenger. It’s a simple registry hack which goes as follows (But before making any changes to registry please be sure to back it up ploperly):

  • Go to Start -> Run
  • Type “regedit” (without quotes… this will open registry editor)
  • Navigate to: HKEY_CURRENT_ USER\Software\yahoo\pager\Test
  • On the right side, right click and choose “new Dword” value
  • Rename it as “Plural”
  • Double click it and assign a “decimal value” of “1”
  • Exit registry

Now, the number of times you open Yahoo, a separate Yahoo messenger will open from which you can login with separate accounts. Try it!!! I'm sure you'll like it.
