There are various patches available online to automatically fix your
yahoo messenger to allow multi instances supporting multi login feature
of the messenger, but the issue is that they don’t work on all versions
of the yahoo messenger. Other than that the steps in this tutorial don’t
need you to use any patch or program to fix your yahoo! messenger for
multi login, rather you will know how to fix it directly from the
registry within few minutes manually. This manual way of editing the
registry to allow multiple instances of Yahoo! messenger to have multi
login feature enabled works with not only the latest version of the
yahoo! messenger (10) but also the previous ones.
This method works on all versions of windows (windows xp, windows vista, windows seven/7)
To start with, make sure you download and install the latest (or any required) version of the Yahoo! messenger.
Then goto start >
run to launch run.exe (or press
win + r to launch it)
In the text field for the run box, type
Regedit and press enter.
This will launch the
Regedit.exe program allowing you to edit the registry of your windows installation.
In the regedit window, navigate to the location:
"HKEY_CURRENT_ USER\Software\yahoo\ pager\Test"
In this folder, right panel, right click on the empty space and select New to create a new Dword value registry entry.
Name this value as
Plural
Double click it, it will open a popup with a text box having a value, change that value to 1
You can change this value to 0 anytime you want to stop the multi login feature of your yahoo messenger.
Its done! :) you don’t need to restart your computer even. Just click
on the Yahoo messenger icon as many times as you want and it will open
the new instances of the messenger every time. Just login to the new
messenger window with any other id that you want.
OR
If you don't want to do the task manually and want a ready-made registry
script to do the task automatically, just download following ZIP file,
extract it and run the extracted REG file. It'll ask for confirmation,
accept it:

Note:
If in your Yahoo! messenger you have chosed to
automatically login,
it will try to login to the same id every time you launch the new
instance of the yahoo messneger for multi login purpose. To avoid this
issue and error because of trying to login to same id automatically on
multiple yahoo messenger instances, simply untick /deselect the option
for login automatically on your yahoo messenger login screen and it will
be fixed.
