Y!Hook Chat Client Tutorials

Okay for those who use "Windows XP Media Center Edition" and have an issue with 'right mouse clicking' your Y!Hook icon in your toolbar/taskbar.

I'm going to try to explain here how you can edit one of the options you can not edit by right mouse clicking...

Your ignore message!, that displays in chat, from the default ignore message to a more personalized message...

First of all CLOSE Y!Hook, make sure it is not in your taskbar... Then Click:
Start...
Run...
Type in: regedit

Now look under the following folders:

+ HKEY_CURRENT_USER
+ Software
+ VB and VBA Program Settings
+ Y!Hook
+ CHAT

Here you will see a few files, with the words "ab" as an icon.. Type: REG_SZ then the Data.. Then look for file... "IGMSG"

IGMSG ... REG_SZ ... #USR# Has Been Placed On Ignore, #CNT#

This is where you need to edit the #USR# <~ section... But you need to keep the #USR# as the #USR# is the person you are putting on ignore and the #CNT# is the number of ignores (a counter), so if you just edit the info in the middle then you should be all good

IGMSG ... REG_SZ ... #USR# Has Been(CHANGE THIS HERE) Placed On Ignore, #CNT#

Now to do this you need to do the following:

Right mouse click the icon "ab" IGMSG
Click Modify
Edit the text line under "Value data:" (Here I would copy and paste this line onto a text file and edit the line, you need to make sure you do not place more than 250 characters... meaning all spaces, brackets, words and symbols, all count as characters... example: #USR# Has Been (is 21 characters with spaces & brackets included) otherwise the ignore message will not save or work or who knows what could happen lol the limit is 250 char's)
Then click OK

Now run your Y!Hook, when you enter chat.. type /settings.. tick the box... "Display Ignore Msg In Chat" and then right mouse click a user in chat and "Ignore Permanently".. and Ta Da!! Poof Ignored with a sexy lil message of your choice

NOTE: Do not Edit other files in your Registry Editor Unless you know what you are doing, as you could cause some issues with some of your programs etc... Also for other Y!Hook users who CAN right mouse click their Y!Hook icon in the taskbar/toolbar you do NOT need to do this, as you can right mouse click and go too "Ignore Message".. for some reason some people who have Windows XP Media Center Edition are having the issue where they can not access Y!Hook by right mouse clicking it..
