Just wanted to say that I've learned from this and wondered why or what the issue was between Windows 7 and Skype that would cause this.

A few days ago I allowed Skype to upgrade and since then I constantly have Skype on my Task Bar.The only way to get rid of it is to close it. Is there any way to just get it to sit in the background, like it used to be? Or is there a way of uninstalling the upgrade? I am using Windows 7 Home Premium.

How can I reduce remove Skype from the task bar on Windows 7?

Instant messaging (IM) is a type of online chat that offers real-time text transmission over the Internet. A LAN messenger operates in a similar way over a local area network. More advanced instant messaging can add file transfer, clickable hyperlinks, Voice over IP, or video chat. Non-IM types of chat include multicast transmission, usually referred to as "chat rooms". Depending on the IM protocol, the technical architecture can be peer-to-peer (direct point-to-point transmission) or client-server (a central server retransmits messages from the sender to the communication device).
