Now I’ll tell you about another hidden feature in Yahoo! messenger which allows having Tabs in Yahoo! messenger conversation/Chat windows just like a web browser tabs. You can chat with several friends in a single window using tabs.

Follow these steps:

  1. Go to Start ==> Run. Type regedit and then enter.
  2. Navigate to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER ==> Software ==> yahoo ==> pager.
  3. On the right pane, right-click and choose new ==> Dword value.
  4. Rename it as Tabbed IM.
  5. Double click and assign a decimal value of 1.

I have only tested this trick in Yahoo! messenger v8.1, so can’t confirm whether it works in other versions or not. Also you might face a few GUI glitches which can be fixed by maximizing/minimizing the chat window.
