Get “Hide Window When Minimized” Option Back in Windows Live Mail in Windows 7

When I installed Windows Live Mail in Windows 7, I found that "Hide window when minimized" option was missing in Windows Live Mail system tray context menu.

Its one of the most essential option. It allows you to minimize the Windows Live Mail window to system tray instead of taskbar. But its not shown in Windows 7 because of some compatibility issues.

Here is a step-by-step tutorial to get the "Hide window when minimized" option back in Windows Live Mail:

1. Right-click on the Windows Live Mail shortcut and select Properties. Here the shortcut might be present on Desktop, Programs menu or anywhere else.

2. Go to "Compatibility" tab and enable "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" option.

3. Select "Windows Vista" from the drop-down list and Apply it.

4. That's it. Now start Windows Live Mail and you'll get the option back in its system tray context menu:

Disable Mozilla Crash Reporter aka “Breakpad” in Firefox, Thunderbird and SeaMonkey

"Breakpad" is a new crash reporting system from Mozilla which is a core part of Mozilla Firefox 3.x, Thunderbird 3.x and SeaMonkey 2.x products. It was developed to replace the old "Quality Feedback Agent" aka "Talkback" present in previous versions.

Whenever any of these 3 Mozilla products crashes, Mozilla crash reporter shows a window asking you to send the crash report to Mozilla servers and allows you to quit or restart the application:




If you want to disable this crash reporter, you can do it by simply editing an INI file:

1. Open My computer and go to the installation directory of the application:


Mozilla Firefox: %programfiles%\Mozilla Firefox
Thunderbird: %programfiles%\Mozilla Thunderbird
SeaMonkey: %programfiles%\mozilla.org\SeaMonkey

Here "%programfiles%" stands for "C:\Program Files" folder. Replace C: with your system drive letter where Windows is installed.

2. Now look for "application.ini" file and open it in Wordpad.

3. At the end of the file, you'll see following lines:

[Crash Reporter]
Enabled=1
ServerURL=https://crash-reports.mozilla.com/submit

4. Simply change the value of Enabled to 0 as following:


[Crash Reporter]
Enabled=0
ServerURL=https://crash-reports.mozilla.com/submit

5. Save the file and now you'll no longer see the Crash reporter window.
