December 13, 2007 2:41 am by Jal

Ever wished to chat on Yahoo messenger with two (or more) ids on the same computer at the same time. Ya, you obviously did, but weren’t able to. Here’s a small tweak that can enable you to have multiple logins on Yahoo! Messenger. Here’s how you do it. However this tweak works only if you have a Yahoo! Messenger version other than version 9.

1. Open the Windows Registry Editor by clicking on Start → Run and typing regedit. Press OK.

2. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\yahoo\pager\Test

3. Go to the right column, right-click on any blank space and choose New DWORD Value

4. Name it to “Plural“ as shown in the screenshot below (Click to enlarge).

5. Double click and assign it a decimal value of 1.

6. Close Windows Registry Editor and restart Yahoo! Messenger. Double-clicking on Yahoo! Messenger icon many times will give you as many Yahoo! Messenger login windows. (see screenshot below; click to enlarge).
