Windows Live Messenger in Windows 7

Posted on October 16, 2009 @ 4:11 am

By default, it doesn’t show up as a system tray icon. To fix this, exit Messenger, go to C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Messenger (in Windows Explorer), right-click on msnmsgr.exe, click on “Properties”, click on “Compatibility” (tab), and tick “Run this program in compatibility mode for:”, select “Windows Vista” in the drop-down list, then click on “OK” and start Messenger again.

Uninstall Windows Live Messenger

Posted on May 31, 2009 @ 10:17 pm

I couldn’t find “Windows Live Messenger” in the Add/Remove Programs window (in XP), so I had to search for an alternative solution.

I found one here, where it says to go to Start => Run and paste the following in the textbox: msiexec /x {0AAA9C97-74D4-47CE-B089-0B147EF3553C}

Patch for WLM (MSN) 2009

Remove ads, nudge shaking/delays, and more from the newest MSN (well, technically Windows Live Messenger), with A-Patch. I also like to use MsgPlus for additional features.
