    No need for pardon ... ;) ... when you provide the solution!

    No, I hadn't but disabling it was an option. After a restart, it was gone.

    I don't know it Skype was there before it appeared on the task bar and the setting changed from disabled to enabled but something changed.

    Thanks Sven and all!

    You don't use it, uninstall it and if you ever decide to use it, reinstall it.

    That would have been the definitive solution which I myself suggested in post #3 but Sven came up with a "non destructive" solution in post #19.

    I actually had this same issue (Skype appearing in the system tray/notification area) and have been following this thread. Thanks for resolving it for me as well!

    Don't forget that the accursed Skype now forces an option "to Share" in the right-click context menu box.

    Try removing that excrescence. I wish you luck!!

    You didn't mark it as resolved. Still shows that it is open and active.
