Introduction:\*\* Well way back when MSN V7 was released it was covered in filthy advertisments & links. The current release of V7.5 has still not changed! Luckly we are saved; Here is a quick customization, that not only makes MSN 7.5 look alot cleaner without ads, it also seems to run alot smoother…

\*\*First Step: \*\*Download MSN Version 7.5 (Current Version) & Install it.

\*\*  
Second 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, This is a _MUST_ for MSN 7.5 Users!!

The A-Patch file is very small, 120KB, and since iv been using it iv had no problems, it doesnt containt spyware or ad-aware and patches like a breeze. When using the patch you must have MSN 7.5 fully closed to allow it to patch.

\*\*  
Third 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 7.5 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, then use this thread to post your questions.The screenshot below is from my MSN 7.5 (_Updated May 19th 2006_) window, you may notice its fairly different without the ads and tabs!!
