Windows Live Messenger And The System Tray

Close Windows Live Messenger on Windows 7 and it'll display its icon on the taskbar,

Chewing up useful application space, rather than in the system tray where many believe it belongs.

Fortunately there's a very quick fix: right-click the shortcut to Windows Live Messenger,

Click Properties > Compatibility, check "Run this program in compatibility mode for" ,

And choose "Windows XP (Service Pack 3)" from the list. Close Messenger,

And its icon should now appear in the system tray, just as you'd expect.
