Put Messenger back in the tray in Windows 7 where it belongs

Turns out you can “fix” it. I got a very helpful email today explaining that you can simply run Windows Live Messenger in Windows Vista compatibility mode to move its icon back to the tray where God intended. To do so, quit Messenger. Then, find the executable file, msnmsgr.exe (it’s in C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Messenger by default), right-click it, choose Properties, and visit the Compatibility tab. Under Compatibility Mode, select “Run this program in compatibility mode for” and then choose Windows Vista from the list. Click OK and restart Messenger. Voila!
