IM warning message in MSN Messenger 6

Most people should know about customizing the “Never give out your credit c…” security message, but in MSN Messenger 6 you may have noticed it doesn't show up. Well actually it does, for the first 5 times only.

In your per passport setting registry key, there's a dword called “WarningMsgCount”. Each time you open a new IM window, this number is checked. If it's less than five the warning message is displayed and the number is incremented. If it is five then it's left alone and the warning message is not displayed.

The idea for this is you could set this dword to 0 (or delete it) upon the IMWindowCreated event, so the IM Warning will always be displayed.

The location of the the warning message count value is: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\MSNMessenger\PerPassportSettings\#\WarningMsgCount and the IM warning policy is: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\MSNMessenger\Policies\IMWarning
