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.
Using your Skype account through web at imo.im
This is the solution i was looking for a long time. I can't install Skype at work, since it is prohibited, so i needed to access it somehow. Just visit http://imo.im enter your Skype user name and password and that's about it. This service can be used mainly for chats, webcam and voice are also available and you may connect with your friends on line.
This website is also capable of connecting you to MSN, ICQ, Yahoo talk, Google Talk, MySpace/Facebook networks.
Permanent folder for incoming files in Skype
If you are sick and tired of selecting the folder to save an incoming file in Skype, do the following. Go to Tools→Options→IM&SMS and there on the bottom select: Save all files to: and choose the desired folder. That's it — and you will probably save a lot of time in future.
