Step 2. On the right hand side of the screen you will see KazaaNet right click on it and click on Modify.

Step 3.

Step 7. Paste everything into your new value you will notice the first 4 lines have added themselves.

Step 8. Scroll down right to the bottom and if at the bottom the last lines first four numbers ain’t 0960 you have done something wrong and try the process again but if it is press OK

Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > IMESH > CLIENT On the right hand side of the screen scroll down the page to you come to StartInTray right click on it and click on Modify and under the Value Data you will see a 0 (This is when you don’t want it to start in the Taskbar) to make iMesh start in the Taskbar change the value to a 0. And press OK

  1. Make the archive button go to your new download location

In iMesh there is an Archive button which takes you to your download location. But for the ones that don’t use that location don’t use that button till now now you can tweak it to take it to your very own location to do it do the following.

On the right hand side of the screen scroll down the page to you come to DownloadsLocation right click on it and click on Modify and under the Value Data you will see the location of the default downloads location (This is where iMesh by defaults puts all your downloads) to make the Archive button go to your downloads location just put in the location of your downloads and press OK

  1. Change the Chat URL to our forums page

As we all know that when you enter the iMesh chat it slows down everything cause you have to download everything everyone says but if it was a forum you wouldn’t have to so if you wish to get rid of the chat page and change it to a forum we recommend ours so all you have to do is the following

On the right hand side of the screen scroll down the page to you come to ChatURL right click on it and click on Modify and under the Value Data you will see the link to iMesh’s chat page well all you have to do is change it to the following link http://elitex.hyperboards.com and press OK

Well that’s it for this version I hope you enjoy using it cause we aimed to make everything work cause we noticed in our previous versions we got some of the stuff wrong and we noticed not many people knew what they where doing so they wouldn’t use it so I hope it is now easier and more efficient to use. Elite X would like to thank you for downloading this file and hope you share it with your family and friends and for also keeping the P2P lifestyle alive.
