Kill Skype Home - Get rid of that annoying ?Skype Home? popup
With the new Skype update has come an annoying little window called Skype Home that pops up automatically when Skype starts. I don?t like things that serve no purpose and I don?t like things that pop up automatically. Now, when you combine the two, it?s just too much. So, of course, I had to write an app that fixes this issue. This script is designed to start with windows, kill the Skype Home window when it finds it, then closes itself so it no longer uses any system resources.
To install simply:
1.Download the KillSkypeHome.exe file and run it
2.Right click on the icon down in the system tray and select ?Start with Windows? (if you want this to run automatically when you startup)
3. You?re done! Restart your computer and watch the Skype Home window disappear as soon as it pops up.
** IMPORTANT: Skype must be in ?Compact View? for this to work. To use ?Compact View? simply click [View] then select [Compact View] from the menu **
