       Windows Live Messenger and the system tray in Window 7

       Windows Live Messenger and the system tray in Window 7
       Close Windows Live Messenger on Windows 7 and it'll display its
       icon on the taskbar, chewing up useful application space, rather
       than in the system tray where many believe it belongs.
       Fortunately there's a very quick fix: right-click the shortcut
       to Windows Live Messenger, click Properties > Compatibility,
       check "Run this program in compatibility mode for" and choose
       "Windows XP (Service Pack 3)" from the list. Close Messenger and
       its icon should now appear in the system tray, just as you'd
       expect.
