As I noted previously, Skype can also be closed from the Task Bar (without worrying about System Tray icons at all). On a Windows 8 machine, the task bar can be accessed by pressing Windows T. You can then navigate to the Skype icon using the left or right arrow keys. When you land on Skype, press the application key or right mouse button, and choose "quit Skype" from the context menu. You will be presented with a dialogue box asking you if you are sure you wish to close the program. Activate the "quit" button, and Skype should be properly closed. I hope this helps.

Cc: Adrian Spratt Subject: RE: getting Skype off of task bar Daniel, It sounds as though your system tray is set to hide some icons. Below are instructions for how to reveal them in Windows 7. I believe they originated with David Bailes, and I added notes from my own experience when I went through the process some years ago. Open start menu properties with Win key, escape, alt-enter. In the first dialog, tab to and press the Notification Area Customize button. I found that the list of options appears when I shit-tabbed once. The first item there is always turn on all icons. I pressed the spacebar on it, then tabbed to Okay. -----Original Message----- From: Jfw [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Daniel McBride via Jfw Sent: Monday, June 22, 2015 8:10 PM To: Jaws User Group Cc: Daniel McBride Subject: getting Skype off of task bar Earlier today someone posted instructions for getting Skype off of your task bar completely. The first instruction was to access Select A System Tray Icon and arrow down to Skype. I tried this. After entering Insert F11, I have only 4 choices to arrow to. They are Get Windows 10, Solve PC Issues, Network 5 Internet Access and Speakers. So, will the instructions not work for JAWS 14? _______________________________________________ Jfw mailing list [email protected] http://lists.the-jdh.com/mailman/listinfo/jfw_lists.the-jdh.com _______________________________________________ Jfw mailing list [email protected] http://lists.the-jdh.com/mailman/listinfo/jfw_lists.the-jdh.com _______________________________________________ Jfw mailing list [email protected] http://lists.the-jdh.com/mailman/listinfo/jfw_lists.the-jdh.com
