RE: Minimise to tray on Win7 (without Vista compatibility mode)
Okay, so I missed that part of the post as I skimmed it...

Scripting it should be possible as all you'd have to do is recreate the menu and place it in the corner. There is no telling if WLM would receive the "messages" though when an item has been clicked etc.

I think it would be easier as a Messenger Plus feature, but it's all down to time, effort and whether or not the Windows Live Messenger team will decide to reinstate it when too many users complain.

To be honest, I don't see the harm in having one more icon on your taskbar, mine is pinned to it permanently anyway... If it was XP or Vista I could understand as I hat open windows.

The whole point of having the new taskbar in Windows 7 is to reduce clutter and make sure that only programs that run in the background have the need to have a system tray icon. It makes everything more accessible and provides more space.
