Hi Joe,

You can remove someone from your ignore list. In 9.0, go to the Messenger menu, then to Preferences. On the left side, click on Ignore List. This will show you the list of IDs on your list and you can remove the one you want.

You’ll have to do the same for maximizebutton

Huh, I’ve found a workaround, not the best patch though.
Using a hex editor, open yui.dll in C:\Program Files\Yahoo Messenger\Messenger folder. I recommend xvi32

Look for YbSkin_WM_ANIMATEWINDOW (be aware this is in Unicode UTF16 so there 00 bytes between each characters. In xvi32, when searching, check the “as Unicode Latin (UTF-16LE)”) When you find that, just change any letter to something else. I changed ANIMATE to XNIMATE.

Also, look for minimizebutton (same 00 rule applies) and change the first m to x (do note there’s a dialog_minimizebutton as well, leave that alone). This can be changed in the Theme.xml as well, but since you’re at it…

The effect is going to be:
1. there is no minimize button on any yahoo windows, hence you won’t click the minimize button by mistake
2. when you use the taskbar’s right click and minimize, the animation won’t be activated)

Effectively, there’s no chance for the user to do anything (that I am aware of) to accidentaly enable window animation

I am still looking for a way to disable the actual animation rather than removing the minimize button and sorts.

Regards,
Adrian

My bad, it doesn’t if you click on the minimize button. However, changing the setting from Windows’s settings won’t have any effect. Looks like Yahoo is using an internal Windows function, rather than changing the registry…

I’ll dig some more and find a patch

Sorry,
Adrian

To FULLY disable the stupid reactivation of “Animate window when minimizing and maximizing” which Yahoo 9 keeps enabling, open regedit and go to

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VisualEffects\AnimateMinMax

and add the following DWORD value: CheckedValue
It will be set to zero by default. That is just perfect.

Now minimize Yahoo. Voila! By the way, the minimize animation is only enabled when you minimize any yahoo window (main or chat). This fixes this malware behaviour. I sure hope Yahoo fixes this bloody issue.

Regards,
Adrian

- XP Minimize/Maximize Animation BUG
- Freezing Messenger After Every Few Second
- Need Old Sounds Back, New One Are Stupid Like Vista Sound.
