morbidbutterfly Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 When using Windows Live Messenger in Windows 7, minimizing it puts a large icon to the bottom left instead of putting a small icon on your taskbar. To change that: Right click on Windows Live Messenger and left click Properties. Go to the Compatibility tab and check the Run this program in compatibility mode for: box. Choose any of the Windows Vista choices on the list and click Apply and then OK. Now when minimized, the familiar little icon will show up on your taskbar.

WaterstonFan Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Getting used to Windows 7... I don't like it when you are on MSN messenger and you can't close the other browser on MSN... I closed it then I was logged out of MSN Windows Live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
