Hi There Microsoft Basic Member,
Just now I have a preoccupation and I hope one of you would be able to
help me.
I am a member of Skype and can have free video conversations with my
friends Online.
There are moments in which I know there is no chance of a friend
looking for/calling me on Skype.
As anywhere else, there are junk interventions, wanting to sell one
thing or another.
They just butt in (and with NOISE, jingles etc.) while I am reading
my E-mail or an article in the Web.
Is there a way to be Online and ask Skype not to accept any calls from
outside?
In summum, how to be Online but off Skype?
I am sure one of you knows the answer.
Thanking you in advance,
Urban

What did the good folk at Skype have to say on the matter when you asked
them about this matter concerning their product?

When you open Skype, go to Tools>Options>General Settings> Untick "Start
Skype when I start Windows">Save

To then start Skype, double-click the Icon on the Desktop when you want to
use Skype.
When you want to close Skype, right-click on it's Taskbar Icon>QUIT
