如何在 Windows 7 下切换 Windows Live Messenger 至系统栏图标模式

        Windows 7 为我们带来了全新的 Taskbar 及 JumpList 特性，方便了我们对桌面程序或窗体的管理。但是可能有相当一部分用户在 Windows 7 下安装了 Windows Live Messenger 之后会暂时无法适应图标的位置。如下图的对比：

Taskbar 图标模式：

Tray 图标模式：

        两者的图标位置所在的位置还是有很大差异的，相信可能会有部分用户暂时无法接受 Taskbar 模式的 Live Messenger，不过在 Taskbar 模式下我们可以通过 JumpList 配合来使用达到更快捷的操作体验。为了满足暂时无法接受新模式用户的需求我们也可以通过兼容模式来解决该问题。

        首先，找到该程序的快捷方式进入其属性。如下图所示：

        之后，切换至“兼容性”选项卡，在兼容模式下复选“以兼容模式运行这个程序”，并在列表中选择“Windows Vista”。

        最后，关闭 Live Messenger 并重新运行就会发现图标已经恢复为早先的模式。反之既然！

如何在 Windows 7 上安装 Loopback Adapter（微软回环网卡）

        Microsoft Loopback Adapter （微软回环网卡）类似一个虚拟网卡，能够被安装在一个没有网卡或者要用于测试多个宿主环境的 Windows 上。相信不少 ITPro 对此是相当熟悉的。但是在 Widnows 7 上按照往常的方法使用添加硬件向导并不能继续之后的手工安装设备的步骤，如下图所示：

        难道 Widnows 7 不再支持 Loopback Adapter 或手工添加设备的方式么？其实不然，我们可以通过“hdwwiz.exe”命令来手工添加设备或驱动。为此我们需要执行以下的步骤：

1. 单击开始图标，在智能搜索中输入“hdwwiz”，在搜索结果中鼠标右键单击该程序，使用“以管理员身份运行”方式来启动；
   
2. 根据操作系统向导，选择“安装我手动从列表选择的硬件（高级）”。
   
3. 在硬件列表中，选择“网络适配器”。
   
4. 选择“Microsoft”厂商，并在右边网络适配器列表中选中“Microsoft Loopback Adapter”，下一步按照向导完成安装。
