Skype question - multiple profiles on 1 PC
Hi all. I am trying to set up a second Skype profile on my PC for a second family member, but can't find how to do it (or even if I can do it). I've done a search of this forum, but not found the answer.
Does anyone have experience with this that they can share to point me in the right direction?
Many thanks.

What Operating system are you using? If it is Win XP the simplest thing to do is to create them their own logon for the PC (Control panel/Users) and then they will have access to all programs installed on the PC (Skype included) but are able to enter their own logon details.
Works well with iTunes as well.

It's done
Thank you Bushfiva - your instructions were simple and straighforward - just what I needed. All done and fine.
BRS - whoops - I should have given the operating system (XP Pro SP2).
Thanks again for the help

If you want to open TWO instances of Skype at the same time in one account on windows, press SHIFT while opening Skype the second time and select Run as... and select another username.
Cheers!
