Yahoo Multi Messenger

Sharing a computer with other people can be difficult, especially when it comes to instant messengers. Even if a room mate or family member is not using the computer, they may still want to stay logged into Yahoo Messenger. In situations like this, Yahoo Multi Messenger can prove to be an invaluable tool. The application makes it possible to run multiple Yahoo Messenger instances. As a result, all users can log into their accounts at the same time, on the same computer.

The application is absolutely free and you can have it up and running at a moment's notice. There is no need to go through an installation process. All you have to do is download a small executable file and run it. Yahoo Multi Messenger works on all popular Windows platforms and the best part is that it won't overuse your CPU.

Yahoo Multi Messenger comes with a compact user interface, which displays a small number of options. All you have to do is click the Activate button and you will be able to start multiple Yahoo Messenger sessions. You can run the same Yahoo Messenger executable file twice or more, depending on how many instances you need.

Yahoo Messenger will launch each time you run its executable. You can have multiple interfaces, with different skins, on the same screen and all users can log into their accounts on their own windows. Also, each running messenger can be reconfigured separately. While a user can set his own messenger to keep the conversation logs, others can set their own messengers to discard the logs. The settings are saved for each user and they will still be in effect, even if you restart all messengers.

To return everything to normal, you have to click the Deactivate button, on Yahoo Multi Messenger's interface. This will not close any messenger sessions, even if there are more than one running on the computer, but you won't be able to run new ones.
