    As far I know this is not a bug in Skype, it is a new characteristic added by the Developers of Skype. Yet Windows Live Messenger had the similar trouble, that's how several edition of programs function by means of Windows 7.On the other hand, the majority of Skype users (counting me) do not like this new characteristic, as a result have switched reverse to the previous version Skype 4.1!

    Possibly I may be misunderstanding the original post, however previous to 4.2 Beta, Skype would minimize on the way to the task bar warning area at what time you clicked on the X. It would be seated at the same time as a unseen icon in the warning area, now you cannot close up the window without ending Skype. At the moment Skype 4.2 roll up not just in the task bar however at the same time as an open window still at what time up click on the X.This is how Skype 4.1x functioned, give pleasure to bring this characteristic back.

    At what time I installed Windows 7 at the moment I downloaded Skype 4.2.0.152 as well as was extremely irritated by means of the irritating determination of the Skype window. Ultimately I exposed this forum as well as used the Vista compatibility alternative described above on the way to resolve it. You state this may possibly reason more troubles. As a result please can you just remove the constant window trouble?

    This is without a doubt a extremely irritating characteristic.First of all for the reason that it gives you a sensitivity of not being in blame of your PC as well as the whole thing on it (which I acquire very sincerely)as well as secondly for the reason that it's now irritating on the way to have it open all the occasion.Please get free of the characteristic; I cannot visualize it being hard to insert an option in the settings menu!
