Using Multiple Skype Programs On 1 Computer

Wow, this is sweet, I have different clients, and I just needed multiple Skype programs. I needed 2 skype user open, for example user 1 and user 2, each user has different contacts, different phone numbers......

Ok you understand right?

So here is how I did the trick. Remember use this info step by step.

Skype Version 4.0

With version 4.0, Skype has added a new switch for supporting multiple users on a single PC. The following steps would show how to create a new shortcut for starting a new Skype instance with a different Skype user account.

• Go to this location C:\Program Files\Skype\Phone.
• Right click on the Skype icon and select "Create Shortcut."
• Right click on the new shortcut and select "Properties."
• Append " /secondary" to "Target" to become '"C:\Program Files\Skype\Phone\Skype.exe" /secondary.'
• Click OK to save the change.
• Give the new shortcut a new name and move it to anywhere you desired.
• When you click on this new shortcut, a new Skype window will appear and you can log on using another Skype account.

You can also run the new Skype instance under another Windows user account. Right-click on the new icon while holding down the shift key, then select "Run as." See below for more details.

Just in case I recommend creating a new admin account in Windows, if this is not working.
