This is a complete guide for MSN 8.5 Live! You will learn how to make the software lighter, how to active some hidden functions and how to install new ones... Actually I'm using the italian version so I'm sorry if something like names and paths aren't so accurate!The first thing we are going to do is to deactive those vertical tabs on the left on the main panel... So just go to options, select "tabs" from the left column and flag "Hide Tabs" then click on "apply".
For the second step we need a freeware software that will allow us to modify our MSN as we like! We can remove the nudge delay, the 3 files transfer per time limit, we can remove the advertisements and so on!!! Its name is "A-Patch", just click on the name and download it... Then start the application and follow the "wizard". If you want, you can customize it like I did by following these screenshots:
Now what we can also do, is to install another famous software called "MSN Live! Plus", if you still don't have it just click on the name, download and then complete the installation wizard... It's really a must have because it adds a lot of great functions like the log encryption, the possibility to increase the maximum size of messages you can send to 1100 characters, the option that will allow you to connect to several accounts simultaneously etc etc...!
Now I want to speak about a fuction that not everyone know well... I'm referring to the opportunity to import any kind of scripts you like! There is a huge online scripts database where you can find something that will make your life easier... For example I use the script "Now Playing" and when one of my friends ask me if I can give him the song I'm currently listening I don't have to go to the music folder and find that song... But I just need 2 clicks to start the transfer! Installing a script it's really easy, just download the one you like and open it...! To use a script just look at the following screenshot and have fun!
