How To Run Two Skype's. - Anime - 07-08-2013
1. Find the Skype executable file (Skype.exe) in: C:\Program Files\Skype\Phone\
2. Right click on it and select Send to > Desktop (create shortcut)
3. Locate the shortcut on the desktop, then right-click on it and select Properties
4. In the Target field, add: /secondary. The Target field should now be "C:\Program Files\Skype\Phone\Skype.exe" /secondary
5. Click OK. You can now start a new instance of Skype every time you double-click the new shortcut.
Hope this helped
Simple tutorial #1.

It isn't. It's in the Computer and Technology Section.

For people on a 64 bit machine:
START > RUN > "C:\Program Files (x86)\Skype\Phone\Skype.exe" /secondary

You know that by default it should create a shortcut to that location already?
Source:
""C:\Program Files (x86)\Skype\Phone\Skype.exe"
I have to tell you that this isn't working for me. I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit and when I click the shortcut again it simply opens the one that was already opened.

You can also Sandbox it without any restrictions for the same effect practically.
