How do I get rid of home/profile/call area on righ...

I just updated Skype from a really old version. I am now using version 7.5.0.102 (Windows 7).
Now there's all this irrelevant crap on the right side that makes it take up almost half the width of my screen. How do I get rid of it?
I tried resizing the window but it has a minimum size set.
I tried looking around through the menus and options too but couldn't find any. I selected "compact sidebar view" but it didn't get rid of the part on the right.
How do I make the right side of that window go away?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I figured it out.
If you pick View -> Split Window View it will break it off into its own window. Then you can close it and it goes away.
An X in the corner of that area or a hide option in the menu would be convenient.

  • How do i get rid of click to call

    Whenever I try to uninstall this crappy program I get an error message 
    "there is a problem with this windows installer package. a script required for this install to complete could not be run. contact your support personnel or package vendor."
    I've had this happen before (it always installs wrong) and somehow I figured out how to get rid of it but for the life of me I can't remember how I did it. Disabling the plug-in on the chrome toolbar does absolutely nothing. 
    HELP!

  • How can I get rid of promotional ads that are preventing me from expanding my email folders?

    Today for the first time, I am getting two promotion ads that regularly change, on the left side of my screen when I am in email, right where my expanded folders normally appear. I tried "expand" and just get a tiny line at the top of these ads with one or two expanded folders named. How can I get rid of these promotion ads?

    You can install the AdblockPlus add-on, and subscribe to a filter list.

  • How do I get rid of browser virus called Iminent, which installs as add-on, when remove button is disabled?

    I have firefox 20.0.1
    This iminent thing must have ridden in on some download but it is all over the browser trying to put up spammy stuff in facebook, gmail, pinterest. I t may be partially blocked by some other add-ons like adblock-plu or better privacy, but it is there creating spurious toolbars on all my social sites and with little popout side windows.
    I ran Malwarebytes and it found nothing.
    I tried to follow these instructions from http://botcrawl.com/how-to-remove-the-search-iminent-search-the-web-hijacker-virus/#Firefox
    to remove it:
    Step 1:
    Open Firefox, and navigate to Tools -> Add-ons (Ctrl+Shift+A).
    Step 2:
    Select Extensions and find the particular Search Iminent Search The Web Toolbar extension, and click disable and remove.
    BUT the "remove" button was absent.
    I tried to follow these instructions to remove Iminent cookie:
    How to block the Iminent.com cookie
    1.From the Tools menu, select Options
    2.In the upper section of the Options window, click Privacy
    3.In the Cookies tab, click Exceptions
    4. In the new Exceptions – Cookies window, enter Iminent.com in the Address of Website field and click Disable.
    BUT there was no "cookie tab."

    Yes all that happened to me [but on FB as I rarely use twitter] . It was browser hijacking. I even commented about it on FB but no one saw the images except me.

  • How do I get rid of Firefox Ads that are constantly popping up whenever I click to another website or in the same website?

    The moment I open Firefox, a "Firefox" AD pops up. Anytime I navigate Facebook or it's apps a "Firefox" AD pops up! Anytime I go to any website, a "Firefox" AD pops up! They are genuine "Firefox" ADS, I've checked in your Troubleshoot guide! I can't do anything without these ads interrupting, slowing and stopping up my activity! I've also gone to the "Pop-Ups" page and made sure Firefox is not an "exception" to pop-ups!
    Please remove them, it is harassment! I don't want anyone's ADS!

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.

    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.

  • I accidently download a toolbar called "Shop at Home"--how do I get rid of it, thanks.

    How do I get rid of a toolbar called: "Shop at Home", thanks

    You can check for recently installed suspicious or unknown extensions.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    Extensions that do not have a "Remove" button are installed by other software and are not under control of the Firefox extension manager.<br />
    Such globally installed extensions are usually found via a registry scan or are installed in a location that Firefox scans for installed extensions.
    * https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Adding_Extensions_using_the_Windows_Registry
    Extensions installed this way need to be removed via the settings (options/preferences) of the program that has added this extension or you need to uninstall this program via "Control Panel > Programs".<br />
    In Firefox you an only disable such an extension.

  • Files "impossible to throw away". How do I get rid of them?

    Hi,
    I have on my desk files I didn't create, named 1CE18A00, C7DCF000, 8B0EC000,  and when I throw them away I get the message "file impossible to throw away". How do I get rid of them?
    They are marked as XLSX files, but they don't open when I double click on them.

    You will get them on IE. I suggest you also contact Google support, as this is also a problem on their end. I too have everything set to Google on both Firefox, Opera, IE, and Chrome and the only one not getting the annoying banners is surprising Google Chrome.
