Windows Live Messenger (MSN) Doesn't Minimize to Notification Area in Windows 7

Go to the Compatibility tab and check the Run this program in compatibility mode option. Select Vista from the drop down list and click OK.

Windows Live Messenger will now minimize to the Notification area as shown below:
