Windows 7 msn question
[Image: descwz.jpg]

So, I just managed my MSN to show up as an icon on the right, among with sound, internet, Windows defender etc. I got annoyed by it showing up as an active program.
Anyhow, now, my conversations... I unstuck the program from the "superbar" and I got the icon on the conversation that is show on the screenshot above on menu #2.

I really like the icon, but the problem is, once I close the conversation the icon goes away. If I then open a new conversation, stick the program and then unstick it, it'll go back to that icon (menu #2)

So, I found the address for menu #1 on the image.

Code:
%SystemRoot%\Installer\{EC928237-A3BD-4640-ABD0-E49E758F2315}\MsblIco.Exe


So, I navigated there. Only one icon was there, (C:\Windows\Installer\{EC928237-A3BD-4640-ABD0-E49E758F2315})
Only the icon shown on menu #1.

Also, I'm unable to locate the image on menu #2 since right clicking it causes it to revert immediately.

I hope I'm being somewhat understandable.
Thanks in advance, to any smart person who understands what the heck I'm talking about.

Open the *.exe you pointed to with ResHacker. Google ResHacker if you don't know what it does.

Maybe it's calling it from somewhere else? All I can think of is using something like Process Explorer to see which files the *.exe
is using when it's running. Maybe it's getting the other icon from an external file...

If MSN runs as a service, then yes, but I doubt it.
If icon isn't in the EXE or an ICO, probably in a DLL.

You can open DLLs with ResHacker I believe.
