Removing Skype 4.2 from taskbar in Windows 7

Many of you are dissapointed with the new version of Skype 4.2.0.155 and Skype 4.2.0.158 also, it has new feature which really slows the work, but most annoying is the fact that you can't remove Skype from a taskbar when it is minimized to system tray. This is the solution i have found recently:

• quit Skype,
• right click on Skype icon on your desktop and click properties,
• in the Compatibility tab check and choose Windows XP (Service Pack 3),
• Click OK, and start Skype.

Another option is to rollback to Skype 4.1.0.179, which is my personal choice, because 4.2 is a real bug.
