Annoyingly, when moving your mouse over the taskbar button you get two thumbnails which are not needed (Image Below)...</p> <p><img src="http://www.t-b-f.co.uk/images/how-to-geek/win_live_mess_thumb.png" /></p> <p>I personally think it is a pain, esecially when you have multiple chat windows open. To get back the good old classic style with the main window represented in the system tray, simply do this...</p> <p>=========================================================</p> <p>1. First of all, close Windows Live Messenger completely.</p> <p>2. Next, locate the shortcut that you use to access Windows Live Messenger from, right click and select properties.</p> <p>3. Click the compatability tab.</p> <p>4. Tick the checkbox "Run this program in compatibility mode" and from the drop downlist select Windows Vista, Windows Vista SP1, Windows Vista SP2. (See Image below)</p> <p><img src="http://www.t-b-f.co.uk/images/how-to-geek/win_live_mess_prop.png" /></p> <p>5. Click [Ok] and that is all, enjoy the classic look!

Use virtual Box from Sun. If you have the .iso on your system, that would be easiest. But it should also work with the installation CD. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/tutorial-how-to-install-windows7-in-a-virtual-partition#post-119157 Sat, 14 Nov 2009 21:07:12 +0000 SarahJames 119157@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Umm, I just had an idea, but don't know if it will work. First thing I need to know is: would it be possible to run Windows98SE in a virtual partition on a Vista machine (or Win 7 machine) ? </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/how-to-delete-the-windowsold-folder#post-119139 Sat, 14 Nov 2009 18:53:35 +0000 JHubbard92 119139@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Sorry whs, do understand now, sure, feel free to. ;D </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/how-to-delete-the-windowsold-folder#post-119138 Sat, 14 Nov 2009 18:53:02 +0000 whs 119138@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Jordan, you are reading more into it than I was trying to say. I meant the "procedure" - or if you want so "approach" that you propose for the deletion of windows.old. And by "copy" I meant that I copied your posting. That`s all. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/how-to-delete-the-windowsold-folder#post-119133 Sat, 14 Nov 2009 18:15:31 +0000 JHubbard92 119133@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>@Sarah </p> <p>Thanks :-)</p> <p>@whs</p> <p>What do you mean copy procedure, I don't mind what ever it is, copy away :P ....
