Skype lets make or of low cost of voice or video in the called equipment freedom that executes Windows, OS X or Linux. There are even movable clients available who are going away to realise calls using the intelligent telephone from a joining point WiFi.

Nevertheless, ' s nonofficial of the movable version of Skype that you can be far from a memory USB. Nevertheless, it seems that “quite insignificant s to convince of Skype for Windows correctly misleads of a memory USB, which means that it can store to the program to a unit flash and take with you in his pocket. All the configurations and preferences will keep in the memory USB, so that their name of user, password and other data are not stored in their computer in the work, friend ' s computer or another annular equipment the security to use the program.



Here's all you have to do:


  1. Install Skype on your PC and then find the installation folder. It's probably something like "C:\Program Files\Skype." Copy the Skype.exe file to a folder on your USB flash drive.

  2. In that same folder on your flash drive, create a subfolder called "data."

  3. Create a new text file called "Skype.bat" or Skype Portable.bat" or whatever you like.

  4. Open your new file using Notepad or another text editor and write "skype.exe /datapath:"data" /removable" (without the quotes).

  5. Save and close your file

When you click Skype.bat, Skype should launch and all of your settings will be saved in the data folder. Although these instructions were designed for older versions of Skype and Windows, I just tested them with Wndows 7 an Skype 4.0 and everything works perfectly.
