Ahhh, Windows 7 is great. However Skype on Windows 7 is irritating for me.

Skype Windows 7

If I minimise Skype it still stays on the taskbar. Now I like my Windows 7 to behave like Windows XP in terms of the Taskbar and Quick Launch, if you haven’t watched the video, check it out here :

So I want Skype to disappear when I minimise it. Here is how to do that.

Open Skype. and click on Tools then Options

Skype Windows 7

Then you click on advanced.

Skype Windows 7

Then untick “Keep Skype in the taskbar while I’m signed in.

Skype Windows 7

And then Bob’s your uncle it goes away.

Hope that helps you too.
