    Menu Bar

    Hi everybody, I can not hide the menu bar of live messenger in the main
    window and in the conversations windows, the show menu bar option it´s not
    where it should be in the dropdown menu, the ALT key only works to underline
    the shortcuts of the menu bar.

    Thanks

    Hi Imixe,

    You can use the free program A-Patch to customize Messenger how you want it. It's a standalone exe program that does not install itself.

    Try this run start/run/regedit.exe
    and change the key
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MSNMessenger\MainFrameHidden

    from "01 00 00 00" to "00 00 00 00"

    Close messenger main window and open it again

    Even though I have an option "show menu bar" in the dropdown menu above
    the add a contact/sort contacs icons.

    Good luck.

    And of course if you want to hide it change it to 01 00 00 00 from 00 00
    00 00

    Re: Menu Bar

    To hide the menu bar in conversation windows change the key
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MSNMessenger\PerPassportSettings\<YOUR
    ID HERE>\IMFrameHidden

    set to "01 00 00 00" to hide.

    If you don't know your ID look in the "my received files" folder and you
    can probably see which ID is which user.

    Re: Menu Bar

    Thanks for the help.
    In fact it worked, although only when the window is not maximized. Is this
    normal?

    Yes the menu bar is always visible when the window is maximized.

    Greetings,

    To bring up the menu bar at any time in Messenger, just press the Alt key on the keyboard.
