    How can the most annoying "Rates Advert Screen" be disabled when Skype 5.0 starts up?

    The "X" closes it but it reappears on startup every time.

    Basically, It's up to skype to decide this. As this is a decent way of generating income, I doubt they will give you the the option to disable it. On the plus side, skype isn't the only voip client out there: http://ekiga.org/download-ekiga-binaries-or-source-code

    A workaround could be to Hibernate instead of ShutDown. I find it quicker too; the occasional full restart is needed from time to time.
