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.

Hi,
I've been meaning to ask this for a while. Using Windows 7 and Skype 4.2,
does anyone know how I can stop Skype appearing as a window in the Taskbar
and Alt+Tab list? I just want it to stay in the System Tray when I close
the Skype window, rather than it appear every time I'm switching through
open application windows. I've checked but can't seem to find the setting
to disable this.
Thanks for any tips.
