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's helpful don't get me wrong. But, why is this in coding tutorials? ;o.o

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

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.

I think everyone knows this :l

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