Hiding the Windows Live Messenger Icon.

In Windows 7 the Windows Live Messenger icon is now very visible in the taskbar (see image below). If you prefer it the way it was before; hidden in the system tray there is a solution for this as well;Windows Live Messenger appears by default on the taskbar.
Close Windows Live Messenger, edit the shortcut properties and set the application to run in Windows Vista compatibility mode.
UPDATE!: As Kevin points out in the comments below this tip unfortunately does not work any more. If you are running the original beta or any interim builds it does work, but not in the RC version.
