However, in your case, there might be times when you do not want Skype to automatically initialize during the PC startup. There can be any reason for this, e.g. to reduce processor overhead, decrease the boot time, avoid additional application startups, limited usage of Skype, etc.
No matter what the reason may be, preventing Skype from automatic initialization on OS X is simple. Here is how:
- Log on to your OS X computer.
- Locate and double-click the Skype icon to make it appear on Dock.
- Once Skype appears on Dock, right-click the application.
- From the context menu, click Options.
- From the displayed submenu, click to uncheck the Open at Login option.
![]()
- Once done, restart your PC to check if the automatically initialization of Skype has been disabled successfully.
Note: Disabling automatic initialization of Skype during the startup does not affect the functioning of the application in any way.
