Yahoo Messenger polygamy without patching (Windows only, Linux doesn't need it):

  1. Click start button and select Run (or hold the Windows key while pressing the "R" key) and then type regedit to open the registry editor.
  2. In the registry editor navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\yahoo\pager\Test
  3. In the right-pane look for a DWORD entry called Plural, In yahoo messenger 8.x this will not exist, but in Yahoo messenger 9 this will exist and will have a default value of 2. If it does not yet exist right-click and create it.
  4. Create the DWORD entry Plural if it doesn't exist, or modify it if it already exists, change the value to 1.
