Multiple Yahoo messenger instances with different login for Chatoholic

My friend Inish is chatoholic and cannot live without Yahoo messenger. He has multiple ids for different sets of friends. Few days back I saw him he was logged into 3 instance of Yahoo Messenger. I was amazed that how is this possible and then he explained me a neat hack to achieve this. The steps are as follows

  1. Close Yahoo Messenger.
  2. Click on Start> Run> type "regedit" without quotes.> Press enter.
  3. Browse to HKEY_CURRENT_ USER> Software>Yahoo>pager>Test
  4. On the right pane , right-click and choose new Dword value. Rename it to Plural.
  5. Double click on Plural and type 1 inside 'Select the Value data' and press enter.
  6. Close the registery editor.

Now you can launch multiple instances of Yahoo Messenger. Enjoy Chatting..
