    Hey all, I just downloaded and bought my full version of window blinds, ok here's the deal, after installation, I opened up yahoo messenger, I went to right click on a name in yahoo messenger and it dissappeared, so I tried running the repair thing on yahoo messenger that didn't work I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling both window blinds 5 and  yahoo messenger, still does the dissappearing act when I right click on any name on the yahoo messenger.. Any ideas guys on how to fix this problems thanks so much in advance.....

Open WB configuration (right click the tray icon) - per applications on the left - add application - browse to the yahoo exe and add it to be excluded

I too was having the very same problem. Not only was it closing Yahoo Messenger, but it was closing my SBC Yahoo browser as well. I added every Yahoo and SBC exe I could find on my PC, and this trick (for now) seems to have cured the problem. I will continue to use WB for the duration of the free trial, and if this has in fact cured the problem.......I will buy WB. I tried on another forum to get this resolved, but nobody there had even heard of this problem. I had already reached the point of giving up on WB and had uninstalled it. I just happened to be talking with someone at work about skinning WinXP and was then refered to these forums......I didn't even know they existed. Thanks for the advice.

Not all programs like to be skinned or to be skinned by 3rd party applications.
SpybotS&D and Incredimail (for examples) have their own way of skinning.
