How to disable the annoying Windows #Skype 5.5 Home Screen auto pop-up #fail

Posted by jpluimers on 2011/09/09

Well, it looks like the acquisition of Skype by Microsoft is showing results: Skype 5.5 introduces an annoying “Skype Home” popup page.

Luckily Disable Skype 5.5 Home Screen auto pop-up explains how to get rid of this (it is open source).

Probably time to move on from Skype to something else…

    Well, he mentioned a ZDNet blog post “Skype – Is 10,000 Page Faults per Second normal?”

    I quite agree that developers of such a “good quality application written on Delphi” behave rude sometimes. Personally I have to thank them for their “logging” feature which served me badly when trying to pinpoint computer “hanging feature” introduced in v5.3
