I don't think that modifying the registry is a better solution than running the program in compatibility mode.. for an average user at least. I am running it in compatibility mode since the first Win7 betas came out and I never had any problem with it, so it would seem that there's nothing wrong with it. Anyway, I think that apatch had a feature that edited the registry as you said and made Messenger minimize to tray (it may have been another patch, I don't remember).

there is a better way, then set it to compatible mode, there needs to be an entry in the regestry in Win 7 then it jumps into tray , I just can’t find the right link to it, running in compatible mode is not a nice way IMHO

Simple solution and it works like a charm!.. You rock!

P.S. I can’t believe they didn’t consider having an option for WLM to minimize to tray for people that use Win7 in a particular way.
