Here’s a quick and easy fix to the problem of Skype on Windows 7 staying in the taskbar instead of minimizing to system tray.
Thanks to “Good Samaritan” for pointing this out in the comments, after I previously posted a flawed solution.
Sorry for the mess! I recently got hacked and lost my previous theme, so I'm working on reconstructing that. In the meantime, this theme is messy/broken but at least you can read my posts. Sorry!!
Hi, I'm Richard Carter! I use this blog to document particularly difficult-to-solve computer problems. My posts are written for clarity and keywords for search engines to pick up on, so that the next person that runs into the same problem will easily find my solution here and have an easier time than I had! I'm forging a path through the brush, so to speak. So if you came here by search engine, I guess it worked! Enjoy the solution to your problem.
Thank, Richard. Quick and slick.
Thanks a lot for the solution! Cheers mate
Super… I just upgraded to w7… and was annoyed by this. Fixed now!
I stumbled upon your post and decided to help out — running in compatibility mode is not recommended. bad things happen – including security issues.
the more appropriate method is as follows:
1. start skype
2. go to tools –> options –> advanced.
3. uncheck Keep Skype in the taskbar while I’m signed in.
4. OK… done
