I don't have the problem with EchoLink, but I do with SKYPE. I absolutely
cannot close SKYPE completely using alt F4 or by hitting the exit in the
SKYPE
Files menu. I have to go into Task Master and shut it down from there. I
love SKYPE, but the problem of not being able to easily shut it down really
bugs me.

I've had this problem with Windows XP, let alone Windows 7.  Seems that
EchoLink doesn't fullly close, and when I start it up, I get an error
message that it's already running.  I've always rebooted because I wasn't
sure what else to do.--Matt, N1IBB.
