Using Windows 7? MSN Messenger Live won’t minimize to the taskbar like the previous versions of Windows? This short blog entry will show you how!
First of all open the directory where MSN Messenger Live is installed in. It should be installed in C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Live\Messenger by default. If you are using Windows 7 x86 (32 bit) then it should be in C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Messenger.
Next fine the file called “msnmsgr” then right click and select “properties” as illustrated in the video below. Then tick on “Run this program in compatibility mode for:” and select “Windows Vista Service Pack 2”. Click on “OK” and you’re all done. It should start and sit itself nicely in your taskbar like the previous versions of Windows.
If you encounter any errors you can change the compatibility to Windows Vista Services Pack 1 or even those lower than that.
Thank you for a very clear and helpful post. I am definitely a violator of many of these rules. I often find myself conflicted when writing a blog post because I see myself writing more than people want to read, but I feel that I have to do the subject matter justice by thoroughly covering it. I feel that by following some of these rules I end up cutting out important aspects to the discussion. I guess you have to find a balance.
