How to run two skype instances in windows

Hi all, today i am gonna show you a very interesting thing. I was doing an experiment of running two skype on one computer at a time because i have multiple skype accounts and i want to login to them at a time. My friend told me this trick and this made my life so easy. I want to share with my blog readers as well.


1. Running two skypes using windows run 
    a. Click on start >> Run
    b. Locate skype exe file on your C:// drive
    c. Copy the path to that file
    d. paste that path to run window with "secondary" word after that like this one ["C:\Program Files\Skype\Phone\Skype.exe" /secondary]
    e. Click ok button


That's it guys. If you are running a skype already then after this method you will see a new skype instance has been initiated and you can use that as a separate skype instance.


2. 2nd method is by using shortcut 

    a. Find the Skype executable file (Skype.exe) in: C:\Program Files\Skype\Phone\ 

    b. Right click on it and select Send to > Desktop (create shortcut)

    c. Locate the shortcut on the desktop, then right-click on it and select Properties 

    d. In the Target field, add: /secondary. The Target field should now be "C:\Program Files\Skype\Phone\Skype.exe" /secondary 

    e. Click OK. You can now start a new instance of Skype every time you double-click the new shortcut.
