Do you have more than one Yahoo! screen name? Do you want to be able to talk to multiple people on your different names at the same time? Well thanks to Yahoo! upgrading a lot of their framework this can be achieved simply by changing a registry entry.

The registry hacks are available for download at the bottom of this post. There is one to enable multiple instances, and there is one to uninstall it. You must have your Yahoo! Messenger closed out before running either one of these hacks.

Also for those that *are* a little more computer literate, it appears that you can’t run multiple instances of Yahoo! Messenger by calling the ymsgr: command in the Start > Run menu. But for most of you this wont matter, simply click on your Yahoo! Messenger Icon to run multiple instances of the program.
