[center][size=1][color=Magenta]DONT SPAM THIS THREAD WITH HATE-NESS TOWARDS MICROSOFT & MSN [!][/color][/size][color=Magenta] [/color][/center] \*\* Introduction:\*\* Alright, well iv noticed a fair bit around here since MSN 7 has been released people have been complaining about advertisements and how they would like to customize it a bit better. Here is a quick customization, that not only make MSN 7 look alot cleaner with out ads, it also seems to run alot smoother… \*\*First Step: \*\*Download the MSN A-Patch file, this file created by: AHMZ005 is great. Not only does it allow you to remove advertisements, but it also allows you to remove the nudge feature, winks tabs, and alot more, I recommend this by alot for those who are using MSN 7. The A-Patch file is very small, 66KB, and since iv been using it iv had no problems, it doesnt containt spyware or adaware and patches like a breeze. When using the patch you must have MSN 7 fully exited to allow it to patch. Site & Download Link: [A-Patch Here](http://www.apatch.tk/) Uploaded ZIP File Link: [A-Patch ZIP Here](http://www.kirupa.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=11672) \*\* Second Step: \*\*One thing the A-Patch does’nt do is remove the tabs that are on the left hand side of the main MSN Window where all your contacts are. However this is simple: [list] [\*]In the main MSN 7 window go to: Tools --\> Options --\> Security --\> Tick the box “This Is A Shared Computer, Dont Show My Tabs”. [/list]\*\* Conclusion:\*\* Well hopefully these worked for you, if they didnt and you need help, let me know, The screenshot Below is from my MSN 7 window, you may notice its fairly different without the ads and tabs!
