I have two Hotmail accounts, and find it useful to use messenger to notify me of an email, is it possible to open two messenger windows and sign in with two different accounts (from the same computer)? It has been suggested to me that it is possible to modify msgsc.dll by removing opencheck. Is this right, and if so how can I do this. Cheers

That is an illegal hack and goes againt the Microsoft license you agreed to.

"That is an illegal hack" I don't believe it's illegal =] since it is your own registry and no real malicious harm will result to others. "goes againt the Microsoft license you agreed to." well first off they spy on you (heck research the Palladium Project), they are a monopoly which has consistently been noticed for unfair practices, security holes, screw small companies like Opera... yadda yadda...all in all don't worry if you hurt M$ here and there :) Well anyway Walnut I have an idea you could try... Download Trillian, you can simultaneously log on both accounts and even yahoo, icq, aim, and msn all simultaneously... goto download.com and download there. The one limitation to this is, that I tried 2 accounts on MSN one for family and one for gaming, and when I talked to my brother he asked me if I was the game account when I phoned him... which I never told him the accnt name, but it apparently added him to his friends list. The buddy lists apparently are shared between MSN accounts. It still is useful if you want to multi-connect to many different services. I yahoo, msn, and aim all at same time, its VERY useful for its cross platform connection goto download.com search trillian best of luck, jb (by the way if you and another user have trillian it supports 128 bit encryption as an option which means your chat is very secure from prying eyes hehe)
