Disable Windows Live Messenger Aero Frame Border

By default, Windows Live Messenger, comes with its Aero border enabled. But if you want, you may also disable this aero frame, to give it a clean look.

wlm aero 400x146 Disable Windows Live Messenger Aero Frame Border

To do so, open regedit and navigate to the following registry key:

wlm aero reg Disable Windows Live Messenger Aero Frame Border

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Live\Messenger

In the right pane, create a new DWord AeroWindowFrameEnabled and give it a value ‘0‘.

This will disable the Aero border or frame.

wlm noaero Disable Windows Live Messenger Aero Frame Border

Giving it a value ‘1′ will enable it.

Alternatively, you may also download these registry keys and add them directly to your registry.

    ^ You may have to create a new DWord AeroWindowFrameEnabled

  • Paul D

    ^ That is not entirely correct. The instructions as posted are only for the 32-bit Windows.

    Using the 64-bit windows the key is: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows Live\Messenger

    The rest of the directions remain the same other than that.
