How to minimize Windows Live Messenger to System Tray?
« on: October 21, 2011, 08:45:41 AM »
Does anyone here know how I can minimize Windows Live Messenger to my System Tray?

Note: My OS (Operating System) is Windows XP Professional (2002) Service Pack 3.

Do you mean it doesn't minimize when you close it from the X?

Because we can!

I know how to minimize WLM to the System Tray with the X (Close) button...

I was just hoping there was a way to configure WLM, so the normal Square (Minimize) button minimizes WLM to the System Tray, instead of minimizing WLM to the Taskbar.

But if the button about 2cm to the right does that exact function, why would you bother? o.O
