Some personal computer users often use multiple Skype accounts. By default, launching two or more copies is quite difficult, but there is still a loophole.
Necessary
Skype software
Instructions
Step 1
First of all, you need to download the latest version of this software product. To do this, follow the link below. On the downloaded page, click the bulky "Install Skype for Windows" button and save the installation file to your hard drive, specifying the directory. Installation is standard, you just need to follow the prompts of the installation wizard.
Step 2
In the new version, it became possible to run multiple copies, but subject to the correct formatting of the text inside the labels. What does it mean? Now you need to add a parameter to the "Launch path" line. Only after this action can you start several Skype.
Step 3
First you need to create two shortcuts. To do this, go to the directory at this address C: / Program Files / Skype / Phone. Right-click on the executable file, select the "Send" section and in this list click on the "Desktop" line. This operation must be repeated again.
Step 4
Rename each shortcut by choosing appropriate names such as "Work" and "Home". Hover the cursor over one of the shortcuts and call the context menu, go to the second tab and add the phrase / secondary in the "Object" field. Save the changes by clicking the "Apply" and OK buttons. The same operation must be done for the other shortcut.
Step 5
Each time you start both copies, you need to enter a "username and password" link. To avoid this, it is necessary to modify the expression that is copied into the "Object" field. Instead of / secondary, enter / secondary / username: Skype Name / password: Skype Password. Replacing the corresponding words with the username and password. The whole line will look like this: "C: / Program Files / Skype / Phone / Skype.exe" / secondary / username: Dmitriy / password: 4n71lr91.
