seems like you got it iViking...The other thing is, if it is on your dock, you can just right click the skype logo and check-off the 'open at login' function.
When I downloaded Skype awhile back...it did the same thing, and always opened at Start-Up.
But, nonetheless, doing what you already did is best, and takes(took) care of your problem

No problem.
And to Crackbook, I never noticed that 'open at login' function in the dock before, tis handy.
Just adding this - unticking it still causes it to load at startup, it just hides the app instead. If you want to completely stop it from loading at startup click on Skype and click on the - at the bottom of the list.
Ah-hah! This worked for me. I could never get skype to stop opening at start up, even trying the first option mentioned. I never thought to ask about it in a forum though... I just would always get annoyed at having to right click the bouncing skype icon at start up and click "force quit"
