Messenger acting weird on Win7
Aight, I got the new Windows beta on my computer and have had it for a while now. Surely I'm such a social butterfly online that I need to have MSN installed as well. But the thing with Win7 and Windows Live Messenger (aka MSN Messenger) is that since there's this superbar that works as the quick launch and taskbar, you don't really have the contact list at your hand. So when you click on the MSN icon in your superbar, it shows two windows: logged in thingy and the main contact list window. So I can't get to contact list right away by clicking the damn icon. Plus I could use the thing in the system tray really so it's out of sight and only the chats and the contact list come up with the superbar click.
So there's a workaround for this and it's pretty simple actually:
1. Head over to the start menu, find Windows Live Messenger
2. Right-click on the main application shortcut and select Properties
3. Pick the compatibility tab
4. Tick the first box available and pick Windows Vista
This will make the program work as it was in MS Vista. Now you get your beloved MSN icon to system tray and MSN works "normally" in the "superbar".
