How to run two Skype accounts at the same time in Windows-10?

5

I've just performed the way like below URL to run two Skype accounts.

https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA829/how-can-i-run-multiple-skype-accounts-at-the-same-time

Finally I got the error.

The name "C:\Program Files(x86)\skype\phone\Skype.exe" /secondary specified in the Target box is not valid. Make sure the path and file name are correct.

how can i resolve it?

Thanks.

Have you try to add space between skype.exe" and /secondary? – Romeo Ninov – 2017-04-20T09:47:22.687

The folder is called Program Files (x86). There is a missing space in the question. Also, Skype may not be installed at this location at all. – Daniel B – 2019-07-06T17:40:12.440

Yes, This is simple just add "C:\Program Files(x86)\skype\phone\Skype.exe" --secondary

Instead of "C:\Program Files(x86)\skype\phone\Skype.exe" /secondary

Please go to property of skype app on Desktop and replace target with "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Skype for Desktop\Skype.exe" --secondary

Save and you can open multiple skype by clicking one skype app of Desktop.

Create a shortcut for skype.exe and change the target as (based on x64 or x86)

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Skype for Desktop\Skype.exe" --secondary --datapath "%appdata%\Microsoft\Skype for Desktop\profile-xx"

/secondary will not work with new skype and windows 10
