^^
Didnt u get "Enabled" near it?
If u can see the "Enabled" word, then simply change it to something else, I changed it to "disable". :D

It seems that u hv different version than mine!
But if u see carefully, the "enabled" string is there in the 3rd line under the selected text in ur screenshot.
So change it to ne text or change it to "disable" and then see the result. :grin:

Oh comon, why do u have to go so complex & use a hex editor

I have been using a custom made registry file since Yahoo messenger 7 days

just copy paste this code to notepad, & save as filename.reg..as a registry file, then simply import in your registry

REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\yahoo\pager\YUrl]
"First Login Beacon"="*pclick.internal.yahoo.com/p/s=97416787/lng=us/rand=%d"
"Tutorials"="*help.yahoo.com/us/tutorials/ms75/index.html"
"Messenger Ad"="*"
"Webcam Upload Ad"="*"
"Webcam Viewer Ad"="*"
"Webcam Viewer Ad Big"="*"
"Webcam Viewer Ad Medium"="*"
"Change Room Banner"="*"
"Conf Adurl"="*"
"Chat Adurl"="*"
"N2Phone Adurl"="*"
