Tested to work on Yahoo! Messenger 8.1 and Microsoft Windows XP.
To unleash this hidden feature on your Yahoo! Messenger, you must add this following Registry value:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Yahoo\pager]
“Tabbed IM”=dword:00000001
To revert back to regular Yahoo! Messenger window, just remove the Registry value, or set the value to 0.
If you prefer to have the .reg file, you can grab it here.
Happy chatting.
Registry Caution
This post contains information on how to edit and modify your Windows Registry. It is always recommended that you take a backup of the Registry before editing any of the values because any improper editing can cause strange behaviour and at worst could even corrupt your operating system completely, requiring you to re-install Windows.
We encourage you to try out the tips described in this post, but only if you know what you are doing and if you do it with care.
