Find the registry key for MSN Now Playing plugin

[Noobster24]

Hi,

for my program I need to know if people checked for the 'Now Playing plugin' in their Windows Live Messenger / MSN Messenger program.

I was wondering if this setting is saved in the registry, if so, where can I find it? Or is it saved in a ini / xml file, if so, where can I find it?

The checkbox I mean is where it says 'De nummers waar ik in Windows Media Player naar luister als persoonlijk bericht laten zien'. (Show the songs as personal message I listen to in Windows Media Player)

Thanks for helping,
