IE7 replaces phone numbers on web pages with Skype links

Win XP, IE7. I have Skype installed but normally not running. Yet IE7 puts a
Skype link on all phone numbers on web pages. Firefox doesn't do this, so
this must be some setting in IE7. Anyone know how to fix this?

Never mind- I found the solution. It's a Skype Add-on. It can be disabled in
IE7 via Tools | Manage add-ons.
(I recently installed IE7 and had a lot of settings changed by software
upgrades, so a lot of things aren't working as they used to.)
Sorry!
