Tips / / December 19, 2019
Skype warm and comfortable. Often, even uncontested. The point is that some extremely useful features Skype is not obvious, that is hidden from the user. Create separate Skype accounts for work and personal use is a good practice. The problem is that you can not run two applications on a single client computer without shamanism. Although, actually you can.
Start as usual Skype, then press the key combination «Win + R» or simply run vindovyh utility "Run" option, then define it in a way to Skype.exe file with the addition of a parameter «/ Secondary».
If a 32-bit system, and for Skype was chosen as the standard installation path:
C: \ Program Files \ Skype \ Phone \ Skype.exe / secondary
If the 64-bit system, and for Skype was chosen as the standard installation path:
C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Skype \ Phone \ Skype.exe / secondary
Skype will start the second client in which you will be able to log in another account.
A simpler option - to create a copy of Skype shortcut on your desktop, then make a right click on the shortcut -> Properties.
In the "Object" appends the parameter «/ secondary». It should look like this.
Push the "Apply" and then, if desired, rename the label so that it can be distinguished from "primary" Skype.
Everything is very simple.
