MSN icon has UAC shield when pinned

Anyone got any idea why when I pin msn to the taskbar in windows 7 the icon has the uac shield on it? Msn isn't set to run as admin and I've totally disabled uac

do you have computability set to xp on it by any chance? mine was, and so required UAC to run it..?

Yeah. It's set for xp sp3 compatibility. But then it also is on my desktop machine and that one doesn't have the shield. The only difference between the 2 machine software wise is that the desktop is running 64 bit and the laptop 32 bit

a slightly off topic question if you dont mind

have either of you noticed that msn on Win7 seems to have two windows (not including any conversation window)? One minimised label which is labeled with my name (no actual window content, its just occupying area on the task bar), the other is labeled generally as msn and maximises as normal to show contacts etc?
