1120848 2010-07-21 08:21:00 I want Skype to auto start with windows (as it used too),
I have been to Skype/options/and ... start skype when I start windows box is ticked...
Also msconfig/startup/skype box is ticked. Thanks

1120849 2010-07-21 08:41:00 And have you rebooted to see if it runs on startup? Speedy Gonzales (78)

1120851 2010-07-21 10:01:00 It maybe running on startup, but it may also be hidden. Click on the bottom arrow (the notification area). Look here for the Skype icon, and change it to show icons and notifications, then OK Speedy Gonzales (78)

1120853 2010-07-21 11:33:00 Goodnite thanks so far, tomorrow bob.m (13015)
1120854 2010-07-21 11:43:00 Hmm after you change it to show icons and notifications, then click OK, the icon should appear on the taskbar Speedy Gonzales (78)
1120855 2010-07-21 19:44:00 I deleted its auto starting in ccleaner and now can't bring it back (not that I want to) but just had a look anyway, I hate auto starting programs I prefer to start them when I want to use them gary67 (56)
1120856 2010-07-21 21:48:00 Hi Speedy, the icon is on the taskbar no problem, but i have to go to all programs and manually start Skype, each time i boot after that all is good.
Well good for you Gary but i have family and friends overseas and want to be skype available whenever I am on line.
