Accidently removed windows live from taskbar Yes it sounds simple, but thing is that before, when i would hover my mouse above the msn icon in my taskbar, it would show my display picture to.
I accidently removed it and tried to get it back on, and ened up having 2, or one where it dosnt even show when i open msn, and stuff.
I tried re-instaling it but it didn't seem to work the way it did before D:

Thats actualy the thing i dont need/want.
Seems like most people want it back in their icon tray, while i want it to stay the way it was.

I then made a shortcut to my desktop them I pinned or copied to my taskbar. Can't remember which one worked.

Try typing notification in the search bar.
When you finally get to that screen, I think it will be self explanatory.
