How to display Skype in the icon tray

[jmt356]

How do I add Skype to my icon tray so that the Skype icon with a checkmark will show on the bottom right of my Windows 7 screen whenever I am signed on? Please note the icon tray is different from the Taskbar. The Taskbar in Windows 7 displays large icons of all programs running. The icon tray displays mini icons of programs in the background.

Thank you

I have right clicked my taskbar, gone to Properties, clicked on Customize ... under Notification area, and set Skype to "Show icon and notifications," but it still isn't showing up.

Skype 4.2 and later minimize to the taskbar instead of to the notification area (icon tray) by default. To change this:
In Skype, select Tools | Options...
In the navigation pane on the left, click on Advanced.
Clear the check box "Keep Skype in the taskbar while I’m signed in".
Click Save.

This causes Skype to appear in the Taskbar; I want it in the icon tray (notifications tray). I found that this was fixed after I restarted my computer.

Thank you
