| | Re: live messenger - minimize to system tray Doesn't the X in the upper right corner work? In Messenger that minimizes the client instead of Exit, or you can do it by alt-F and choose close. To exit right click the icon in the systray and choose exit. Destin_FL wrote: Quote: > Does anyone know how to minimize Windows Live Messenger IM client to the > system tray? > > Tim |

| | Re: live messenger - minimize to system tray Mine doesn't minimize to the tray with the close button - it just closes. Is there an update I don't have, or a setting I need to change?

| | Re: live messenger - minimize to system tray Using the X to minimize to tray does not work in Windows 7 build 7000. Hope this will be changed in R1.

| | Re: live messenger - minimize to system tray Hi, This is Messenger's behavior, not Windows 7, as such RC1 won't change anything with this. It is my understanding that the designed and intended behavior as per Win7 is the 'X' will shut down an application, including Messenger, and everyone will just have retrain themselves. Although one nice thing they could add is a confirm box when you hit the X, so you don't shut it down accidently. -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger MessengerGeek Blog: http://www.messengergeek.com Messenger Resources: http://messenger.jonathankay.com (c) 2009 Jonathan Kay - If redistributing, you must include this signature or citation -- "Gultiger" <Gultiger@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:815271BB-E908-490D-B077-E266CFAED84C@xxxxxx Quote: > Using the X to minimize to tray does not work in Windows 7 build 7000. > Hope this will be changed in R1. > |
