[iWishiWasaDunkey]

@TheN3croman

Please go to Tools > Options > Advanced - and uncheck the box that says "Keep Skype in Taskbar when signed in."

[DeNikow]

@iWishiWasaDunkey Thx dude, easy but effective. Fixed a lot of crashing issues also. (weird)

[andrecoxa]

@iWishiWasaDunkey Thanks a lot!

[shuan44]

hey guys how can i run my program invisible like i m using my skype and i don't want to see in my task bar or tray icon i want to use as a background invisible how can i do taht plz some one tell me thanks.. i really appreciate.

[iWishiWasaDunkey]

@shuan44 There is no way for you to remove the program from your tray and taskbar all together. You can always right click on the taskbar > properties > and from there customize what is shown on your traybar.

[omaifakingad]

@iWishiWasaDunkey woohoo, works, thanks!

[szekoly]

great, it works :) WIN7 - 32

[knezevina]

Thanks!



[DrMorpheusFromZion]

This video shows very good method how tohide skype. But I am wondering that skype developers did not know that windows 7 exists and this small routine is not implemented into the skype automatically. But fortunately you find this little setting. Thank You for Your research and to show it for us. Kind regards, Dr. Morpheus

[Flashlabs]

[neojash]

is skype free?

if i make a call to any country....................doe­s it have calling charges or it's free?

plz reply

[iWishiWasaDunkey]

@neojash

Skype is free to call anyone in the world if they are also using Skype. If you want to use Skype to call a LAN line or a Mobile line, you need to pay for it via subscription or credit.

[neojash]

@iWishiWasaDunkey

k! thank you!

[DarrylGlb]

[behinderteleberwurst]

As of who knows when you can just deactivate it under Options -> Advanced.

[tekchiclaurie]

Very nice. Sometimes it's the simple things that bring joy into our lives.

[rocksolid99]

Worked great, thanks. There's no issues in running in compatibility though? I could of sworn I read somewhere where skype said to expect problems doing this.

[defiaNtby]

thx .. it helps :o)

[dudefromlbc]

Thank You your video was really helpful

[Dahaqaa]

You're the best, thanks!

[TheDexboy]

Same trick as with MSN then.. I really don't get it, why can't they simply make Skype and MSN hide back to taskbar as they did in Windows XP? (I've never used Vista so I don't know how it was/is there)

[fabioinfo]

Thanks! It works.

[miscfor]

Great job! Thanks!

[Moogagot]

I read this in the forums, but watching the video was great. Thanks!
