Add a minus sign before 1, so it gets -1. Open it in text editor and find this line Skype’s configuration file is named config.xml. You won’t be able to follow the rest of the steps, if you lack such basic computer skills. If you don’t know where that is, stop now. It is located in your Windows profile folder. Make sure you completely unloaded the program. Then completely quit Skype, by right clicking the icon in the taskbar and selecting Quit. First go to Skype settings, find Privacy, and uncheck the last 3 checkboxes to disable your online status on the web, disable cookies and disable targeted ads. Be advised, that even though I succeeded in doing so, you have to follow my steps in the exactly same order, otherwise this won’t work. If paying Microsoft is not your style, you can try patching Skype to remove ads. Well, the easiest way to get rid of Skype ads is pay for Skype! Any amount will do, send 1 cent to your account if you can and that will do! People who ever paid for Skype, use it ads free forever. So you are sick and tired of ads in Skype, and want to disable ads in Skype?
