Ever since i got back from holiday, this really annoying UK Online Tab and sumtimes a Tescos Tab show up each time i log in…in the past when those tabs have shown up, i got rid of them by going to…Tools > Show Tabs etc…once i did that, the next time i logged in they were gone…..but this time (sigh) each time i log in, they show up. i just want to no how i can get rid of them perminantely!
I’m not sure why its not working for you, I tried it on my Messenger, and it took the tabs off. I closed my Messenger and re-opened it and signed in, and the tabs where gone.
Are you making sure that you are unchecking the ones you dont want on?
LOL, yep im pretty sure i am doing the right ones! don’t worry i int that thick…n e 1 else got the same problem or has had that problem and can sort it ?

rustedtighti kinda guessd that! i just wanna no what it is…maybe i shud uninstall msn and install it again. who knows, that may help!

In a lot of cases and even with BSOD’s while chatting, A simple uninstall/reboot/re-install brings harmony to the system. Dont install any add-ons for ’bout a week to prove stability, after that? the world is your oyster.
rustedtightWell i fully uninstalled messenger and then installed it again and it still didnt work!! the annoying thing is, is that i dont actually have n e addons to msn…even messenger plus!! so i dunno whats going on, ill just have to live wif it i suppose unless sum 1 comes up wif an increadible idea and it works!
Hey.
I know this is very late, but just wanted to post my theory about these tabs. Here goes…
When you sign up for a Hotmail account, you get to use MSN Messenger with that username too. While using Hotmail, you come accross lots of banners, and when using MSN Messenger, you have the little advertising banner in the program itself.
Now, when you sign up for a .NET account, eg: ****@bluewin.ch, and use Windows Messenger, you don’t need the Email-Announcement Add-in, and therefor also dont have the advertisement banner in the program. Seeing that you are not even using Hotmail to check your email, you don’t see those banners either.
Now, because of this, I think that when you sign in with a non-hotmail account, you have no other choice, but view the ‘off-pissing’ tabs! See, I signed in with a @hotmail.com account, and I could take away the tabs, without them comming back. Then I signed in with a @bluewin.ch account, and the tabs where there. I could take them all away, but as soon as I closed MSN (Not even signed out), and re-opened it, they were back.
See, my theory is basically, when using an non-hotmail account, and not having the email-notification add-in installed, microsoft is not making any money from you, so this is their way of making you see some adds! It sucks, but thats life!
But this is just my theory, ;).
yes this is very late….but that is not necessarily the case because back then i was using a hotmail acccount….trillian is my way of living now. i dont have that problem anymore!
ok this reply is proly WAY to late…but if you have MSN 5.0 goto tools>options…then click the privacy tab and check the box that says “this is a shared computer so dont display my tabs”
