How to disable Skype Wi-Fi?

Skype WiFi is a very annoying (and potentially expensive) feature and I do not want it.
To start with, I am in hotel and every time WiFi is connected, popup appears asking me to use Skype WiFi.
How does one completely disables it? There is no option in preferences (at least I did not find one).
Thanks,
Rudolf

If you are in a WIFI network that is secured then you will need the password, which by the way, is a long number (I believe is about 26 digits). The owner of the network sets this password so there is control over who has access his/her Internet and email service. You can ask that person if you can jump in and join his/her network, if they allow you to do it then they will give you the password key.
I hope this helps… enjoy your iPod touch, its awesome!

How to disable Skype auto-start on Windows 8 boot?

Hi
I have a freshly installed Skype ver 7.2 on a freshly installed Windows 8.1 PC.
I did not allowed Skype to start itself on Windows startup. The corresponding option in settings is not checked.
But it starts anyway.
How can I disable Skype on startup?

Hi, I had the same problem recently--trying to disable Skype's automatic start when I first log in to Windows 8.1--and this is what worked for me:
1) Bring up the "Task Manager" window by pressing Ctrl + Shift + Esc all at the same time. (Or press Ctrl + Alt + Del at the same time then choose the "Task Manager" menu link.)
2) Once the "Task Manager" window comes up, you'll see several tabs (Processes, Performance,...Details, Services) just one row below the top drop-down menu bar (File; Options; View).
3) One of those tabs (on my version of Windows 8.1 it's the fourth tab from the left) reads "Start Up"
4) Once you open the "Start Up" tab window, you'll see a list of installed programs that have either been "Enabled" or "Disabled" in terms of booting up when you first turn on your computer.
5) Scroll down until you see "Skype" then highlight it with your cursor. If the line shows that this program is "Enabled" during start up (under the column "status"), then a button on the lower right of the window should read "disable." Click on it and you will see the "status" of Skype change to "Disabled."
The change should take effect for your next reboot. While your there, you can also disable any other (non-essential) programs to help speed up your computer's boot up process. Be careful what you disable, though, as some programs might be necessary for your computer's day-to-day functions!
I hope that helps!

How to disable skype from starting up automaticall...

I am trying to turn off Skype from starting automatically when Windows boots up. I went into Skype, Tools, General Tab and de-selected "Start Skype when i start Windows". When I hit "save", the tab automatically jumps from "General" to "Advanced", and it prompts me to enter port information as to how Skype connects to the internet???
I do not want to change any of the background connection settings (ie. Ports, Proxy, etc.); I just want the ability to de-select Skype from starting when Windows boots.

Port number for incoming connections must not be empty.

[Tutorial] How to disable Skype advertisements!

WINDOWS ONLY
The Skype Team forced us all to update to the latest version of Skype for one reason and one reason only: Money
They want us to see their new advertisements so they make more profit; they don't care how bad they are at programming and how bad they are at developing Skype.
Luckily, there is a solution to get rid of these advertisements and make Skype better (although it still has too many problems than the older versions).
1. Open-up the control panel.
2. Open-up "Network & Internet" then "Internet Options".
3. Go to the "Security" tab.
4. Click on the "Restricted Sites" icon, then the "Sites" button below it.
5. Type "https://apps.skype.com/" (without the quotes) into the text box and click "Add"
6. Close and apply the changes.
7. Restart Skype.
8. ???
9. Profit!

Dear Skypers,
How to disable the status icon in Skype 4 for Android phones?
The guide on this following support page not working anymore: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12359/how-do-i-enable-or-disable-the-status-icon-in-skype-4-for-a...
Older version has the option to disable Skype Status and get rid of the Skype icon on Android status bar. But latest 4.4.0.31835 could not disable Skype Status in notifications settings. :/
Device: Google Nexus 4
Android: 4.3 JWR66Y
Skype: 4.4.0.31835
Please bring back the option to disable the Skype icon on Android status bar. This is the main reason I uninstall Skype. :/
Kudos to the team, the apps is really smooth and fluid to use. Would be nice if you guys are following the Android Design Principles and using Google Cloud Messaging for push notification to improve User Experience and battery life.
Kind regards,

Long click on this notification a sub menu having field "App info" would appear goto App Info. You can goto there by "Manage Apps">"Skype" also.
Uncheck Option "Show Notifications" A dialog will open. Don't worry about notifications for now just click OK. Now the notification icon skype has also been removed.
Now simply check "Show notification again". After doing this you would get notifications but skype icon would not be shown in the status bar anymore.
Issue: this is just a trick you need to repeat this every time sign out and sign in again. Mostly you don't do that so no need to worry.

How to disable advertisements in Skype 7.7

How to disable advertisements in Skype 7.7 because nothing I've found here on forums works!

Yea sorry not everyone has $10 to just flush down the drain. The ads are unblievably obnoxious and ridiculous and enough to make me move everyone over to Aim or yahoo.
As for the OP, it seems like generally the same method that may work for one person wont work for another so I'd suggest googling around if the posted answer doesn't work and just try them all.

The Skype Click and Call function highlights phone and contact numbers on webpages and emails, and a Skype call can be executed by simply clicking the highlighted number.
The easiest way to disable this is to remove or uninstall the Click to Call with Skype plugin, via Control Panel's Add/Remove or Uninstall Program function.
Click and Call feature can also be deactivated by disabling or removing the plugin through your browsers' manage add-ons/plugins options (actual procedure varies according the the browser type).
Moreover, to re-enable this function, just download and install the Click and Call plugin again;

How to disable parent window while popup window is coming

Hi,
I am working on Oracle Applications 11i.
I am able to get the popup window using the Java script in the controller.
Please see the below code for the reference.
String pubOrderId = pageContext.getParameter("orderId");
StringBuffer l_buffer = new StringBuffer();
StringBuffer l_buffer1 = new StringBuffer();
l_buffer.append("javascript:mywin = openWindow(top, '");
l_buffer1.append("/jct/oracle/apps/xxpwc/entry/webui/AddAttachmentPG");
l_buffer1.append("&retainAM=Y");
l_buffer1.append("&pubOrderId="+pubOrderId);
String url = "/OA_HTML/OA.jsp?page="+l_buffer1.toString();
OAUrl popupUrl = new OAUrl(url, OAWebBeanConstants.ADD_BREAD_CRUMB_SAVE );
String strUrl = popupUrl.createURL(pageContext);
l_buffer.append(strUrl.toString());
l_buffer.append("', 'lovWindow', {width:750, height:550},false,'dialog',null);");
pageContext.putJavaScriptFunction("SomeName",l_buffer.toString());
But here the problem is, even though popup window is there, i am able to do the actions on the parent page.
So how to disable the parent page, while getting the popup window.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks

How to Disable "Auto Align" in [System Pref.] - [Display] - [Arrangement]

Does anyone know How to Disable "Auto Align" in [System Preferences] -> [Display] -> [Arrangement]?
It always want to align the two screens from the top when they are lined up close together and I need them to be aligned from the bottom. Since the resolution heights are so close together (1080 & 1050) it does not allow one to align side by side from the bottom as it prioritizes top alignment.
I guess I'm looking for a script to disable this feature.

Anyone got any ideas?

How to disable the "turn page" event triggered by the scroll/swipe function?

The problem is as follows.
The default behaviour of Acrobat Reader (both stand alone and browser plug-in) is to allow scrolling/swiping with the mouse wheel/trackpad. This is useful when the pdf's page length is greater than the screen's own length, because you can read the pdf with no need to distract your attention from the text to the scrollbar button. However, the same scroll/swipe function turns into a usability problem when the pdf is embedded in a html page and the pdf's page length is smaller than the browser's length. In this case, the scroll/swipe turns the page, distracting your attention from the text to the unintended behaviour of the browser. What happens is that you are so used to scrolling/swiping that you did it unintentionally in the pdf's caption area. You really did not want to turn pages in the pdf. Furthermore, if the pdf takes the whole html page, being a website, the scroll/swipe function flips the website pages in ways that neither the reader nor the writer had ever intended. Hence the question. How to disable, in this case, the "turn page" event triggered by the scroll/swipe function? A JavaScript should do, but the SDK documents did not help so far...

I would like to know how to use Skype on my TV to ...

What I'm finding out in the millions of Skype users is that there isn't anyone (so far) that knows how to use the Skype (which is installed on my SMART TV) to make a phone call or video phone call. So, if there is anyone out there who knows how to use SKYPE on SMART TVs to make phone calls or video phone call - that would be great if you can help me. I have awebcam which is compatible with my TV and can be use with Skype. If anyone knows of classes where you can get training or online courses to help me learn how to use Skype that would be great. I thank you for any response to this by sending an e-mail to [removed for privacy] .

Use of Skype on a smart TV may vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. However the interface should be rather basic and easy to use. I don't see how a class would be really necessary. The process may even be covered in a startup guide provided with your TV.
Here's a link to a 2.5 minute video on it. This one is specifically Samsung, but others should be similar.
