Hi Flowers,
I'm assuming you have prior knowledge on how plans are setup regarding the scheduling aspect (i.e. time limit and launch limit features), so I will only outline something that should target the Skype app. If they are using Skype through a browser it should be easier as you simply block/limit the URL/s.
In the plan wizard in the applications screen, click "add app". We will make two Custom entries (furthest right tab).
Make sure "Process Name" is selected upper right and copy/paste this exact snippet in bold, (?i)\b(Skype.exe)\b
Next make sure "Application Name" is selected in the upper right and copy/paste this exact snippet in bold, (?i)\b(Skype)\b
Make sure to check the "RegEx" box to the right on each line on the application screen and it should work no problems.
As to my knowledge the message feature utilizes the application process and/or name, these two codes will target only the Skype application. The RegEx method targets elements instantly in my experience, so if the blocking settings are setup correctly they shouldn't even be able to get the window open unless authorized.
As for notifications, I'm not sure. But again using the built in Helper (right click on the icon), you should be able to identify all needed elements.
Hope that helps
