    Skype Problem in Windows Vista

    Installed Skype to my windows vista today and there is one very annoying feature which I can't remove somehow, or I just don't find where to change that setting.

    Now if I have a phone number somewhere in the text on the web, skype/vista automatically creates there a button where I can click and call the person. This is really annoying since it also "recognises" numbers that really aren't phone numbers...

    Can someone help me out to "uncheck" this feature I dislike very much.
