Adding items to the tab bar

How do you add/remove items on the tab bar. (specifically the xbox live tab)

Greetings Dane,

There isn't really a lot you can do with the tabs beyond turning them all off/on, or
rearranging them which I'm sure you've already located the options to do so.

If there's a specific tab you're looking for that other people have, the reason why there is
a difference is because the tabs are based on the locale specified in your Windows Live ID
settings.

So if you're in say, Australia, you won't see the XBox Live tab, but someone in the US will.
Luckily, you can just modified your locale settings in your Live ID to whatever you want if
you're looking for a specific tab. You can change the locale information here:
https://account.live.com/EditProf.aspx

You will need to sign out and sign back in to Messenger to see the change.

I am in the US and I don't see the XBox tab in the Messenger beta. I have a
PC running the previous released version of messenger and the Xbox tab shows
up there but when I sign into the messenger beta - no tab.

I'm in the same boat, US locale specified and no xbox tab, but it was there
on the older version.

Same here.... just 'upgraded' to the new Beta and my XBox Live Tab is gone.

I also upgraded to the new messenger beta and would love to be able to get my
xbox tab back. I also used it very often, unlike some of the tabs (MSN
Careers)
Any help would be great!
