Windows Vista now press enter. now the next time you start Skype it will go to the system tray like a good little boy and when you close it after you open it it will go back to the system tray not be in the alt+tab order, and you will be a happy camper. hth p.s thanks to Jeff for pointing this out with windows live messenger it works for Skype to.
