    hello , I Think There is another way of doing it i read this somwhere
    where we have to go to Start > Run type regedit and press <Enter> now navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MSNMessenger now in this folder find the Key called MainFrameHidden. double click on it now it should read 0000 00 00 00 00, if so change it to 0000 01 00 00 00 now press ok, close regedit, close messenger, and now reopen messenger, and voila it is gone ,

    Re: Hiding the Tab bar in Windows Live Messenger

    Hello , Thank for the trick i Think Windows 7 has removed the notification area icon for Windows Live Messenger though, thus the main button for Messenger window now appears in Taskbar, along side with all its conversation or chat windows. The Taskbar button icon won’t go away even when Messenger window is minimized. When mouse over the WL Messenger icon on Taskbar, the thumbnail preview may show two confusing Messenger’s windows, where one is actual WLM Contacts main window, and another is display picture (DP, which does not show if user clicks on ‘X’ button to close the main window).
