Windows 7 Tip - Dock it in the System Tray

For those of you that use apps like Skype and other chat clients, which used to dock in the system tray, you probably noticed that Windows 7 keeps them in the taskbar when they are open. This can be annoying especially if you are working on a bunch things at once and already have a lot of icons down there.

Here's the solution
If they app docked in the tray on Windows Vista or XP, you can set the app to run in compatibility mode. To do this, right-click on the shortcut for the program and choose "Properties". Then, you will see a "Compatibility" tab. Click that tab and choose the "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" option.  Then, select the version of Windows you want. I choose Vista and that works for me.
