MSN Messenger Tab Patch

Patching applications are in most cases illegal ... this is just an "Proof of Concept" for altering executables.

Well you know those advertisement tabs in MSN Messenger? Well in fact, these tabs are just little webbrowsers or other html pages as you might call it.

At the time of writting this application, my school (highschool) schedule or timetable was also an html-page ...

Are you getting the idea?!

It would be cool if I was able to see my schedule in MSN Messenger, without opening an browser everytime to see if something has been rescheduled ...

MSN Messenger contacts an webservice with information about the Tabs to display. What if you changed this webservice url to your own webservice url with your own Tab information?

If you analyse MSN Messenger with an HEX-editor, you'll find the webservice url, you could even change the url.
You could specify your own Tabs (or html pages).

This application does just that, it replaces the current webservice url with my own ... this allowed me to add my school schedule ...

I've released the source, because version 6 of MSN Messenger is no more. And I think it could be handy to learn how to alter other executables ...
