[nfbcs] What's going on with Skype?

[Doug Lee]

That option is in the regular Skype. If you installed an MSI, or used
Ninite to install Skype, you probably got a business edition, which
may not have it. The solution to that might be to install from
skype.com long enough to shut the feature off. If you're comfortable
digging around in the Windows registry or the Start menu > All
Programs > Startup folder, you might be able to get rid of that
behavior manually. That, though, I'll leave up to you. :)

It is not signing in automatically, which is fine.  It is, however, starting
up automatically...asking for me to sign in.  
This new update doesn't seem to have that "Start Skype" option you
mentioned.  If it does, I must have overlooked it several times.

Assuming you mean the Windows Skype, there's an option in Tools > Options >
General page called "Start Skype when I start Windows." As to making Skype
sign in automatically or not, you should be able to set that from the
sign-in page where you type your login and password.
If Skype is signing in automatically and you don't want that, you can sign
out to get back to that page, then change the option there.

Hi there,

 

There are times when I have to use Skype, and recently, it updated itself to
the newest version.  Now, every time I turn on my computer, it automatically
comes up.  It doesn't sign me in, but Skype always comes up, and then I have
to go into the Skype options and quit.  It didn't used to do this before,
and I'd load Skype when I wanted/needed.  I know there used to be either a
checkbox or an option to not have it automatically start up when the
computer would turn on, but I cannot find such a thing anywhere any more.

Does anyone know what happened and how I can remedy my situation?

Thanks.

Jim
