The Facebook Messenger for Windows icon sits in the Windows notification area and you can right-click the icon to access additional options such as Login, Log Out, Exit, Chat Sounds and more.

By default, the app floats on the desktop. You can dock it to the right of the screen using the right-click options. The Exit option closes the app but keeps you logged in, so if you’re using a shared computer, remember to log out of Facebook and the Messenger application completely.

    I’ve just spent the last year trying to get all the programs I could off the computer, onto the browser! Why would I need something to take it away from the browser?
