Historical 5 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 If you have two Skype accounts and would like to be logged in on both of them simultaneously follow these simple steps: 1. Press the Windows and R keys on your keyboard at the same time. 2. In the Run window, type %programfiles(x86)%/skype/phone/ and click OK. -If you get an error, try again but this time type %programfiles%/skype/phone/ in the Run window. 3. Right-click the Skype.exe file and select Send to > Desktop (create shortcut). 4. Find the shortcut you just created on your desktop, then right-click it and select Properties. 5. On the Shortcut tab, in the Target field add /secondary to the end of the path. The Target field should now read "C:\Program Files\Skype\Phone\Skype.exe" /secondary (or "C:\Program Files (x86)\Skype\Phone\Skype.exe" /secondaryif you’re running a 64-bit operating system). 6, Click OK. Now each time you double-click the Skype shortcut on your desktop, it opens a new instance of Skype. Tutorial taken from: Skype. If you're on Mac try this.
