Hi Doris,

Alt+F4 doesn't work.  Yes, it closes the window but it remains on the
Taskbar so when I do Alt+Tab it's back in the list.

Will try Chris's compatibility mode suggestion, but if I remember rightly
this causes Skype to throw a warning notice each time it's loaded.

alt+f4

should put skype in your sysstray and out of the way. It 
will,however, pop up when you recieve a call but you can then 
minimize it to the systray again.

You can also create a hotkey to toggle skype from the systray into 
focus and back again. This is found in skype's options dialog in the 
hotkey section.

I do not have access to a win 7 machine but would assume this 
behavior to be the same across windows versions.
