Enable multi Yahoo Messenger login instances (for versions 9 and 10)

Q:Do you have more that one Yahoo Messenger ID?
A:YES I have two ! And I want to be able to log in with both of them into Yahoo Messenger.

Usually if you search on the web for this issue you will find solutions like: "Download Now this executable file to solve the problem". Well maybe that program will solve or not your issue, but also it might bring you viruses or is creating various vulnerabilities to your system. Now we will explain you what a such working application is doing behind and in the same way you can do it alone.

1) First step is to open from Start->Run window like in the picture:
Here type regedit which is a registry editor.

2) Now search and locate the following key HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Yahoo/Pager/Test. If you found it, right click into right side panel to create a new Dword value with name Plural and give it value 1.





3)Now close the registry editor and restart your computer after any changes to go into effect. For signing in with new YAHOO ID open another messenger open as many messengers you need. If you want to disable the multiple messenger option then again open registry editor and change Plural value 1 to 0.

Hey.. Thanks for the info. I use trillian as well as pidgin. Both allow multiple logins to multiple messangers all at once.
