If you have used Windows 7, then you should have noticed that if you close an application window which is supposed to run in the system tray until you exit the program, the program stays in taskbar. For example if you close Skype instead of quitting it, it continues to run both in System Tray and Taskbar. In earlier versions of Windows, the program used to run in the tray only. There’s a quick fix to it – Make the program run in compatibility mood 🙂
Right click on a program shortcut and go to properties. Go to the Compatibility tab and choose Windows XP Service Pack 3. Now hit the ok button. You’re done 🙂
Now you can send Skype, Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger, IncrediMail or any other program to system tray from the taskbar 🙂
