Question about Messenger.

[btbam91]

Is there anyway to make it so that when I "close" the main window, it minimizes to the system tray? Whenever I I hit "close" it actually closes the entire application!

If you mean on the desktop?

You have to install it in compatability mode. (Vista or XP compatability mode)

Then when you close it, it minimises to the system tray like it used to.

I think that's what you meant btbam91.

Really? I could they not have this on Windows 7?!

They just changed the way messenger works.

It stays open now and has it's icon at the quick launch position.

Unless you run it in compatability mode like I mentioned.

Here you go.

For such an odd thing to want to do, its quite an easy fix. WeeBear strikes again!
