使Windows Live Messenger最小化到Windows 7中的系统托盘

If you’ve used Windows Live Messenger in Windows 7, you’ve probably noticed that instead of minimizing to the system tray, the taskbar button always stays put. Luckily you can force Messenger to work the way you are expecting with a simple tweak.

如果您在Windows 7中使用了Windows Live Messenger，则可能已经注意到，任务栏按钮始终保持不变，而不是最小化到系统托盘。 幸运的是，您可以通过简单的调整来强制Messenger使您按预期的方式工作。

To accomplish this, we are going to use the Compatibility Mode feature—which will trick the application into using the old behavior for previous versions of Windows.

为此，我们将使用“兼容模式”功能-该功能将欺骗应用程序以使其在Windows的早期版本中使用旧行为。

Force Messenger Into the System Tray

强制Messenger进入系统托盘

Firstly, you’ll need to close Windows Live Messenger completely by right-clicking on the icon and choosing Close window.

首先，您需要通过右键单击图标并选择“关闭”窗口来完全关闭Windows Live Messenger。

You then need to go to the start menu and find the program. In this case it’s Start, All Programs, Windows Live, Windows Live Messenger.

然后，您需要转到开始菜单并找到程序。 在这种情况下，它是“开始”，“所有程序”，Windows Live，Windows Live Messenger。

From here we are going to utilize the lovely Windows 7 right-click and select Properties.

在这里，我们将利用可爱的Windows 7右键单击并选择“属性”。

Then click on the compatibility tab on the right.

然后单击右侧的“兼容性”选项卡。

Then check the “Run this program in compatibility mode” box, choose Windows Vista, and click apply. This is the magical step that tricks Messenger into using the old behavior instead of the new Windows 7 mechanism.

然后选中“在兼容模式下运行此程序”框，选择Windows Vista，然后单击“应用”。 这是魔术步骤，诱使Messenger使用旧的行为而不是新的Windows 7机制。

When you reopen the program it will still display itself in the taskbar as it did before.

当您重新打开程序时，它仍将像以前一样在任务栏中显示。

However if you now close it by clicking the fabled “X” in the top right hand corner, your system tray will be complete with a little blueish green man.

但是，如果现在通过单击右上角的传说中的“ X”关闭它，则系统托盘将带有一个蓝绿色的小家伙。

He’s been known to associate with some less than savoury fully green characters, so you can now sleep easy knowing you’ve done him a world of service by separating him from those other shady messengers.

众所周知，他与一些不那么美味的绿色角色相关联，因此您现在可以安心入睡，因为您已经将他与其他可疑信使分开，从而为他提供了服务。
