64 bit MSN minimize to system bar? - MasterZuFu - 04-16-2010

I utterly HATE the way Windows 7 did the whole taskbar thing. It really annoys me to have things there. I like it to be clean and tidy, but it's not with all the things I have open. MSN can minimize to system bar IF your run it in compatibility mode as windows Vista. But if you're using 64 bit software you can't run it in compatibility mode. Therefore msn 64 bit can't minimize to system bar.

Does anyone have any other ideas on how to get this to minimize?

I think it was on hf or something, the method. You exit msn and then right click on icon and go to properties and run as windows vista and then when u login it will let u minimize it differently

i'm on 64-bit and it lets me do this :S

Since when can you NOT use compatibility mode in 64 bit?

Mine is greyed out and won't let me select compatibility mode for msn.

MreGSX (dunno his new username) posted this on HF, but I dunno if it uses the compatibility mode thing.
