Smile Thanks, Rod -----Original Message----- From: Tom Kingston [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, October 05, 2014 3:40 PM To: GW-Info Subject: Re: Skype bug Rod, Okay. I see what you're saying now. I had Skype configured a bit differently. I didn't uncheck double clicking makes a call because that allows just hitting Enter on a contact to call. After unchecking that the second press of Escape does close the program. But it doesn't leave it in Task manager. So I can open it back up with no problem. The solution to the second Escape key press is to close the window with Control-W. Then you return to the main Skype window and Alt-S Skype, L Close, will put it in the SysTray. And for what it's worth, I don't run Skype at start up and I removed the IE update bug. Although, if I remember right, the IE update didn't cause the problem if Skype was run at start up.
