Eduardo, it seems odd that it didn’t work for you, but thanks for contributing with your way of solving the problem. I’m sure someone else will find it helpful here.

That didn’t worked for me! The system tray icon appears but I still have the annoying task bar icon! To solve that -at least for me- I needed to run in compatibility with Windows2000. If i’m logged in and I close the Messenger Window, it completely minimizes the program to the system tray, if i’m logged off and close the window, the messenger process get closed. At least for me that was the best solution!

I could just cry with joy, lol! The two taskbar slots and inability to minimize like old times was driving me crazy and I thought I was the only one! Thank you SO much for this!

Finally! What was MS thinkning by WASTING TWO spots on the Taskbar? I could have lived with one, but my space is too precious. Thanks for the fix!
