How do I delete custom status in my Yahoo Messenger?

How Do I delete/edit my Yahoo Messanger's "Custom Status Messages" in my inbox?

  • I usually IM friends using the chat in my Yahoo! Inbox. I have created a few custom status messages like Out to lunch, Working, etc. But I have on in there that I created before going to a funeral. I created one that just stated "Out to a Funeral". Now it brings up bad vibes and sad times I can do without every time I change my status. So my question is, how can I get rid of that custom status? Yahoo! gives us the freedom to create them but I cannot figure out how to delete them.

  • Answer:

    Click Start and click on Run . Type regedit and press Enter. Open:HKEY_CURRENT_USER/ Software/ Yahoo/ Profiles . Next open the folder for the accounts who's away messages you want to edit or delete. Now open the Custom Msgs folder. In here you will see all the status messages you have set next to a number. The Number_DND bit sets whether it shows you as busy or not with that status. 1 will show you as busy while 0 will not and 2 will set you as idle. The away msg entry is the last away message you typed. Please only attempt this if you are confident at registry editing
