Removing Windows Live Ads while running Windows 7.

[linuzo]

Hey Everyone,

I was a little bored this morning so I compiled another screencast for Windows 7. Since i didn't really know what to do one about I figured I would do one about removing the ads from your WLM. Since alot of you already know how to do this it may not be helpful, however if you didn't know it could be done here is an easy trick to try.



If you wanna try total commander, you may be able to locate it from google search, however here is the webpage for the shareware version. Total Commander - home

Nice Video Linuzo, Do you think you can put the Link on there for total commander.

Well that is still in closed beta.

 

[DiamondNRG]

Fair enough, hopefully not for much longer.

Thanks Linuzo for the video on removing that stuff.

InstantBird is coming.

InstantBird is on its way.

You will bow down before InstantBird.

You will pay homage to InstantBird.






Oh, sorry, started hearing the Mozilla voices in my head again....

 

[DiamondNRG]

lol, Instantbird is nothing!

They are planning to release it (1.0) with no voice/video support ... how can they expect that to fly in 2009? or 2010 perhaps by then...

It really is just another release of Pidgin. BLAH.

you can remove adverts etc from the beta releases of WLM9 with apatch. i've done so on to the two most recent beta builds, incluuuuding in Windows 7, too!

hello d0od and welcome to the forums...

i have used these "patched versions" and found them to very good....

the thing with this is that it works with every version.....
you dont have to wait for the patch to delete the adverts

the only thing that would be able to break this hack would be if the ad server changed ip's.....
