Decile Chau al Banner del icq =)
Hace poco , abri el icq y me encontre con una linda sorpresita….
Mi icq tenia un banner de Mi#~$\% , y bue gracias a la ayuda de un amigo encontre lo siguiente…
ICQ
ICQ was
more annoying to fix – for future reference, Resource Hacker is a really cool
program – it’ll open up .exe and .dll files and let you browse around the
resource section of the file. In the case of ICQ, I was able to open ICQCore.dll
and modify the various dialog boxes for ICQ. After a while of playing around I
managed to find a way to get completely rid of all ad banners throughout the
program (including file transfer and URL sending). You can also get rid of the
new SMS! banner that’s at the top of ICQ nowadays. Oh, and btw, only 2000a and
2000b are affected by this – all previous versions are perfectly fine. If you’re
using 2000a, you really should upgrade to 2000b because it’s far less of a
memory hog.
Instructions:
- Download the modified ICQCore.dll for your version of ICQ (check what you
have by clicking the ICQ button -> Help -> About).
- Close ICQ.
- Go to your ICQ directory and rename icqcore.dll to something else (like
icqcoreoriginal.dll) – this will be your backup.
- Unzip the new ICQCore.dll into the ICQ directory.
- Go to Start -> Run, and run regedit
- Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Software -> Mirabilis -> ICQ ->
DefaultPrefs.
Change AutoUpdate to “No”.
- Browse to your ICQ directory, and then to the Partner directory (only
present if you’ve been getting the SMS banner)
- Find partner.xml and open it up in notepad. Delete everything there and
save the file. Right click the file after saving -> Properties, and make
the file read-only.
- Startup ICQ and enjoy your banner free lifestyle 🙂
