Wink Blocker

Timothy's Wink Blocker

Winks are not only annoying. They're exploitable and thus dangerous too. We seriously recommend using this Wink Blocker if you decide to continue using the MSN Messenger 7.0.0205 BETA.

Instructions:

1) Sign off and completely shut down MSN Messenger.

2) Go to your MSN Messenger program directory (usually something like c:\Program Files\MSN Messenger).

3) Rename msgslang.dll (eg. to msgslangbackup.dll) and then place the msgslang.dll included in this zip-file in the MSN Messenger program directory.

4) Go to your application data directory (usually something like c:\Documents and Settings\<your username>\Application Data\Microsoft\MSN Messenger (BETA)\<random number>.

5) Delete all data in the sub-directory "Wink" (repeat this step for all numbers in the MSN Messenger (BETA) directory)

6) Start MSN Messenger, sign on and send the Wink called "Timothy's Wink Blocker" (a blue, devil duck) in those conversations you want to disable Winks in.

7) If you want your patched MSN Messenger 7 back (with the ad removed, polygamy, etc):
- Sign off from MSN Messenger and shut down the software completely.
- Go to your MSN Messenger program directory again (usually something like c:\Program Files\MSN Messenger)
- Rename msgslang.dll (eg. to msgslangmess.dll) and rename the file you changed in step 3 (eg. msgslangbackup.dll) back to msgslang.dll.

Your blocking Wink will still be available from the Wink menu, and you will have your patched MSN Messenger 7 back!

Good luck.
