I cannot find Skype for Business in my programs or anywhere.  I can only find the shortcut within the Microsoft Office 2013 folder.  I deleted Skype (reluctantly) hoping it would get rid of Skype for Business which opens automatically and cannot be closed but it did not work.  How do I get rid of it, please?

Hi Indigold,

Skype for Business (and it's predecessor which was called Microsoft Lync) are packaged as part of Office. So, if you go to Programs and Features, and select your Microsoft Office installation (mine is called Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013 - but yours may vary), and then choose to Add/Remove Features, you should see it in the list.

As I said - you'll probably see it listed as Microsoft Lync - that's the same thing, the name change to Skype for Business was quite recent and not everything has been updated yet:

Hope this helps,

Found it! Thank you so much Tom.
