Update utility for Yahoo Messenger Tabbed IM windows
Problems with the current tabbed IM chat windows for
Yahoo Messenger make it almost impossible to use:
- You have to have a IM window open to receive new IM messages
- You dont know which tab has sent you a new message
- you dont know if any new messages have been received if the Tab IM window has focus
- You have to resize the window each time a new message tab is opened
- Changing and closing tabs does not change the window title
- You have to run a reg file to enable/disable each time

- Sound alert with new IM from hidden tab
- Changing tabs updates window title
- First IM received displays correctly ** IF YOU DONT RUN THIS UTILITY AND IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A TABBED IM WINDOW OPEN YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE NEW IM MESSAGES! **
