My version was different, but apparently, the feature really is included in APatch – how could I miss that.
Thanks for your research!

I found your description working independently from language, I’ll try that one with my English version.

Have you analyzed the origin of this behaviour in the new version 14.0.8089.726 and found a byte to patch it?
It would be really appreciated.

The new file offset for Build 14.0.8089.726 has changed to -> 0×164118
function where this naughty little check moved to 0×564C2A
the conditional jump can be found at 564C2A + EE
change it into a relative jump as described above and this wonderful patch will work again :)

i’ve also made a small post about it on my blog http://www.cerb3ruz.com
Credit’s to this original poster ofc, well done :)

A-Patch has patched the photosharing, so you can select to disable it :D

For version 14.0.8089.726 you want to go to offset 164118.

I have a computer with version 14.0.8064.206 so what I did was search for the nearby bytes, i.e. after byte 16392F there are bytes “21 FF 75 FC”. I searched for those in the latest exe and they were indeed after a byte 74 which I changed to EB and was able to get rid of that awful photo sharing.

@killua the sender must fix his messenger client too to disable it both ways. :)

The fix mentioned here is incompatible with the new build (14.0.8089.726), but the A-patch works great! :)

Thanks!! :D

Looks like Ahmed has included this switch in the latest version of A-Patch: http://apatch.org/ (just updated for the latest QFE build)

I actually got too tired of this feature so I made a MSN bot that would automatically accept all files and upload them to internets via ftp. It was a pretty solution :D

If someone can make a file for changing this, I would be very thankful.
I dont know how to use a hex editor, and this problem is making me look to other features like yahoo messenger.. please help…

I have even written several responsmessages to msn to tell them I really hate this, but it does not seems to work anyways :P
At least we should have the choise to drag and drop send or share…

I would be very happy for any help removing this feature.. ( glock @ glock (.) no )

I have tryed the msn plus feature, and it didnt work..
I use version 2009 (build 14.0.8064.206)

somebody knows how to disable when someone send you a picture, because, this works if we (people who make the fix) send the picture, but when we are who recive it, the SharePhoto gets open again… if someone know how please…
