Keep losing the tray icon

[Scott]

Hi All,

Every time I close the main messenger 5.0 window on the
desktop I am also losing the tray icon. In other words,
the program won't run in the background. Occasionally it
works OK but for the most part it won't. Any ideas how to
fix this problem?

Thanks.......Scott

Greetings Scott,

To correct this, just right-click the MSN Messenger 5 icon in the notification area (system
tray -- by the clock), choose Exit, then download and run the following .reg files:

After running/importing, click Start, then (All) Programs, MSN Messenger 5 to restart MSN
Messenger 5. When you click the 'X' now, it should just go down the taskbar as it should.
