Windows 7 Tricks
Windows 7 is Microsoft's latest operating system which you all know. This version is excellent in terms of speed and stability and is marking the end of old systems.
If you use Windows 7 you may have noticed two annoying errors, still unresolved. The first concerns the messaging program Windows Live Messenger , which started on Windows 7 comes in double window, can not be reduced to an icon in the notification, the second is a lack of an error, the absence of the network (the ones that I like to call "the compiuterini"), icon very useful for monitoring the data stream.

Return the Messenger icon in the notification

When it was launched Windows Live Messenger 2009 (current version) Windows 7 was still in beta, for distraction or software error was not optimized for the next version of the operating system. It should in fact come out in the coming months, the new version, the Windows Live Messenger 2010 is optimized for Windows 7.
Just because the 2009 version has been optimized for Windows Vista, to fix this annoying error ( the icon in the notification area of Windows ) and more errors, just to start the program in compatibility mode Windows Vista . Here's how:
    1. Go to C: \ Program Files \ Windows Live \ Messenger [C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Windows Live \ Messenger for 64bit].
    2. Right click on the file "msnmsgr.exe" and choose Properties.
    3. In the "Compatibility" tab, set the compatibility mode to "Windows Vista (Service Pack 2)"
    4. Click on OK.
Try now to start the messenger, should be fully addressed.

Enter the network indicator in the notification

The network indicator is a tool at times essential to understand what the computer is doing while we are online .When we stopped on a page and wait for loading is important to check whether or not those little computers flash.
Starting with Windows Vista this indicator has been removed, probably to simplify the area of ​​the screen, the fact remains that this icon appears, at least for me, which is essential when navigating.
For these reasons itsamples created Network Activity Indicator for Windows , a small executable file available in two versions, standalone and setup.
