How can I run two Skype accounts at same time (windows)?

Question

I would like to use private skypeid and some company skypeid at same time. I see that some people do this, so I guess it is pretty simple.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

Create a new shortcut to Skype.exe. Edit the shortcut by right-clicking the shortcut and choose Properties. Change the Target by adding /secondary so at the end it looks like this:

“C:\Program Files\Skype\Phone\Skype.exe” /secondary

This should work, another method is by running Skype as a different user. Create a new Windows account for this (with password) and run Skype as the newly created user.
