Hello all,
yes what Steve just said is the way I have been closing skype for months
now since none of the other ways ever closed it completely and there were
times it was messing up jaws when trying to work with other apps that were
also screen hogs.
but I would like to add the following comments also:
the entire process of closing it through task manager with the control alt
dell key in windows 7 is a slow process to even get it to open
as a blind user you must wait it's not a fast process for things to open
and offer you your next step.
once in the programs tab of the task manager arrow down to the skype line:
also be sure the skype line is highlighted, sometimes if it's the only
program running it isn't highlighted
also know the entire process is slower than if skype is one of several
things in the task manager menu for you to choose to close??? don't ask me
why it's just that way for some reason!
my simple fix for that is to open something else before I try to close
skype, I just will not be denied!! LOL
Alt e is the short cut key for getting it to close but again it's a slow
slow slow process to get a response
you may have to do it more than once because other screens open that don't
speak all the time and you could be sitting there waiting for some kind of
notice which you will never get because it's already happened, like the
prompt asking you if you want to end skype
I found that using alt tab to come back to the task manager helps but also
so does jaws key escape for refresh screen help also
then I hit the alt e again
and then alt tab to see if skype has closed
it's all rather tedious but I haven't found a faster way yet so I'm open to
suggestions for sure!! LOL

Hi guys
I'm going to disagree slightly.
I don't think ctrl/shift plus x launches task manager any longer. You have
to press ctrl/alt plus delete and then arrow down to task manager.
control tab to processes and then tab to the list of programmes.
The shortcut to end a process is alt e.

go to processes in the task manager and find skype. Now I believe the key
stroke is control E to end process.
to get to the task manager hit ctrl shift exc, then control tab to
processes.
