another day another MSN Messenger version...

well you probably be running the new MSN Messenger so here's a tasty treat:

The install is divided into 3 sections, which can be daunting at first. This is what I select;

Section 1 (General Options):

• Remove Billing Information Menus
• Distinguish Idle from Away Users (English Only)

Section 2 (Main Window Options):

• Boost Personal Messages to 500 Characters
• Remove MSN Today Button
• Remove MSN Search Bar
• Remove Advertisement Banner

Section 3 (Conversation Window Options):

• Remove Premium Services (What's Hot)
• Remove Packs Button
• Remove Search Button
• Remove Botton Text Ad Banner
  

Last but not least you can remove the annoying tabs shown at the left side of your contact list. There is an option for that, but some people might not find it easy to locate:

1. In MSN Messenger, select Options... from the Tools menu
2. Select Security from the list on the left
3. Check the box before This is a shared computer so don't display my tabs and press OK
