### How to Remove Banner Ads in ICQ For All Versions of ICQ 2000b Make sure ICQ is not Running. Download Reshack from http://www.rpi.net.au/~ajohnson/resourcehacker/ [local copy] Look for Auto Update in your registry: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Mirabilis\ICQ\DefaultPrefs And set the value to "No" Delete the following files from your ICQ folder: icqateima32.dll (removes advertisement downloading) icqateimg32.dll (removes the loading of images) icqateres.dll (removes part of the advertisement function) Open ICQCore.dll in Reshack. Go through each of the Dialogs till you see one with a banner box. Click the banner box and it will highlight the control for that box. Change the last 2 numbers in that control to 0, 0 For Example: CONTROL "", 1070, "{9F9012BA-E55B-11D3-ADE7-0090270D8F00}", 0x50000000, 1, 158, 260, 38 Becomes CONTROL "", 1070, "{9F9012BA-E55B-11D3-ADE7-0090270D8F00}", 0x50000000, 1, 158, 0, 0 Change the main dialog box size coordinates (at the top of the script) to Ad box y coordinate + 1 For Example: For the above control you take the 158 then change the main dialog box y coordinate to 158+1 (159) So: 2503 DIALOGEX 0, 0, 262, 196 Becomes 2503 DIALOGEX 0, 0, 262, 159 NOTE: The last four digits are position/size coordinates - first set is x,y position, the second set is x,y size. Compile the script Repeat for all dialogs with banner ads then save the file (Have a backup of ICQCore.dll just in case something goes wrong)
