How to Enable multiple Yahoo Messenger


Normally You are not allowed to run multiple yahoo messenger at a time. But if you do a little tweak in yahoo messenger, then you can run as many yahoo messenger as you like in your computer at a time. This means that if you have 4 yahoo IDs, then you can login to 4 different yahoo messenger at a time from a single PC.

To run multiple yahoo messenger at a time :
Click Start --> Run-->type regedit and press Enter
From the Left Panel Select HKEY_CURRENT_USER



Select Software and then select Yahoo



Now select Pager and then select Test



Then, on the right pane, right click on the registry editor and select “New”, then create a new DWORD registry value. Name the new registry key as Plural, and assign it the value of 1 (decimal).

Alternatively , You can create a new .txt file and write down the following lines there :

REGEDIT5
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\yahoo\pager\Test]
"Plural"=dword:00000001
save the file and rename the .txt file to .reg file. Now double click the file and your yahoo messenger is ready to run for multiple instance.

A free and very useful utility that allows a yahoo user to run multiple instances of Yahoo! Messenger can be downloaded from here and just after installing it, the user can run multiple yahoo messenger.
