Windows 7: Windows Live Messenger Icon Trick

If you downloaded and installed Windows Live Messenger from the the Windows Live Essentials applications suite. Then you probably noticed (or will notice) that by default Messenger will put its Icon in the taskbar and not the notification area like it use to.

If you prefer messenger to appear in the notification area like it did in the past there is a trick. You have to fool the application into using its old behavior. To make this happen, follow the step below:
  • Close Windows Live Messenger
  • Right-click the Messenger shortcut, and select Properties for the icon in the Start menu.
  • Click on the Compatibility tab, and set the application to run in Windows Vista compatibility mode. (See the graphic below)
  • Press the OK button when done.
