[Blind-Computing] Closing Skhype

2011-07-26 Thread Brad Dunse'
Anyone found a way to actually close Skype 5.3? I see no settings that allow it to toggle minimize/Close when closing. Some programs will give an option to minimize when Alt F4 or Close in the system menu. Perhaps I just need to go back to 5.2 ? Brad On 7/26/2011 05:39 AM Niamh said...

Ok thanks. I'm less than a week in Win7 and getting use to the navigation changes, at least how I was habitually getting around. Insert F11 has a lot less stuff in it now and things have been moved to the task bar which I rarely used before. I see it'll be my friend now :). Brad On

Yvonne The easiest way would be to do Windows Key + M to put you on the desktop then tab twice and you will be on the taskbar - if you tab again you will be in the system tray and it will then cycle through - start button - task bar - system tray - desktop. Larry Flax GD (Guide Dog) Elliot RTG

Hi,Brad, Try if alt+shift+f4(twice quickly) will still exit skype. The above hotkey was in the skype scripts a while back when the system tray was not accessible to screenreaders. Otherwise you can always shut skype from task manager (ctrl+shift+escape to bring up task manager) I am not
