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.
- start skype
- go to tools –> options –> advanced.
- uncheck Keep Skype in the taskbar while I’m signed in.
- click OK
Thanks to “Good Samaritan” for pointing this out in the comments, after I previously posted a flawed solution.
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
