How to install skype without it detecting my user ...

Hi All
I am giving my laptop to family member and have cleaned it up and re-installed skype so he can set it up for his own use, however I notice upon downloading again Skype automatically detects MY user profile.
How can I uninstall and re-install skype so that it installs as a fresh version without my own user details being loaded up?  Is there some hidden file I need to delete?
Thanks for any help.

Uninstalling Skype does not normally remove user data
While Skype is NOT running (i.e. it has been Quit), hold down the 'Windows' key (to the left of 'spacebar') and press r on your keyboard to open the Windows 'Run' dialog
Enter %appdata%\Skype and then click OK
In the right panel of Windows Explorer, select and delete the folders whose names correspond to Skype Names whose data you no longer wish to retain on this PC
Regards,
Neil

  • Leopard DVD is far away. How to install XP without the leopard dvd?

    ok. Leopard DVD is far away abroad with my sister.
    How to install Xp without the DVD? Is there anyway to get the drivers that are to be installed from the dvd after installing Xp?
    I really need to use Autocad and Rhino on my Macpro, so Parallels or VMware fusion is not an option. I am already using VMware fusion on my Macbook pro, but VMware will not use 4g RAM of my Macpro which means it would be hard to run Rhino.
    By the way, I am planning to buy Windows (I am sooooo ashamed to install that self-messed up OS on my Macpro. but so what,,, Autocad and Rhino do not run on Mac, and I need specifically the two programs). XP with sp2, sp3, or vista. which one is the best option?
    Since my Macpro has only One 2.8GHZ Quad-Core Intel Xeon, there is no need to buy XP professional? (XP home doesn't support multi-processors, and XP Pro does, I guess?)

    VMware Fusion uses only 512 RAM maximum, doesn't it? But you said it will use my entire 4GB RAM but only 2 cores. That's something different from what I've known.
    If fusion really uses 4gm RAM of my mac pro, I don't really have to use Boot Camp. But most people who need to run heavy programs in Windows choose Boot Camp because it's the only way to use a Mac just like a PC, meaning that the XP uses the entire RAM memory.
    XP will only use 2 GB of RAM, no matter how much the system has.
    I just found out that Rhino doesn't really work on Vista. So vista is ruled out.
    Only Vista 64-bit recognizes all system RAM.

  • How to install Skype on iPhone

    I just bought a new iPhone.  I want to install Skype.  I selected "App Store" and signed into my iTunes account.  I search for the Skyp applications and selected "Install".  My question is how do I start Skype?  I was expecting the Skype icon to appear on the iPhone display but it did not.  Do I have to somehow do this manually?  When I go back to the "App Store" it says that Skype is installed.  I'm probably the only one in the world who doesn't know how to do this.

    It's probably put the icon on the screen to the right of where you're looking. Swipe to the left to see the next screen.

  • How to install Quicktime WITHOUT iTunes?

    It seems that there isn't a Quicktime installation kit, just an "iTunes with Quicktime" kit. That can't be right. I don't want to install Apple bloatware that I'm never going to use and would just uninstall right away just to get a simple video player.
    Seriously, iTunes includes DRM (Digital Restrictions Software) of the sort that you often can never get off of your system without crippling it in some way.
    All I want to do is watch movie previews. I shouldn't have to install 35 MB of software (compressed) just to watch movie previews.
    So please, tell me how to install just Quicktime, or tell me about a Quicktime 7 compatible media player I can use as an alternative.
    Tony
    P.S. Why are so many movie previews available only in Quicktime format? Does Apple pay the studios to get a monopoly in this area or what? You can usually can get around this by going to Canadian sites, for example the US site for Imagine Me and You has only a Quicktime format preview, but you can go to a Canadian site, http://www.icinema.ca/movie.php?movieID=51628, and they have the preview in Windows Media and Real formats ONLY (Quicktime isn’t even available). But that's an inconvenience. Why can’t we get to choose our media format in the US?
    Alienware something-or-other   Windows XP  

    Thanks for the link. That's exactly what I was looking for.
    I went back to the "Quicktime Download" tab and I still can't see a link to the /standalone page. It must be hidden somewhere, but Real does the same sort of bait-and-switch thing, except they are trying to trick you into paying for their product, which is even worse.
    Also I apologize for the attitude. Just kind of frustrated, having spent too much time trying to solve this very minor problem.

  • How to install thunderbird without Eudora migrations

    I have used Eudora since the mid 90s and now wish to switch to Thunderbird. I downloaded TB and installed it, including the option for importing mailboxes (and settings?) from Eudora 7. I'm using Windows 7. It worked perfectly, although it took quite a while to import the Eudora stuff. I then decided the Eudora stuff "cluttered" everything, when learning how to use TB, so I decided to uninstall TB, and reinstall it WITHOUT the Eudora migration option. This time, although the TB install again worked fine... all the Eudora imports arrived on TB again, even though I was given no chance/window to ask for or decline them this time. Please, how can I install TB without the Eudora imports, preferably WITHOUT uninstalling Eudora, as I at least want to keep it to refer to my many 100s of messages there.
    Then, one day, I may choose to eventually import the Eudora stuff, but not until I become competent in TB. By the way, TB still imports Eudora stuff when installed, without asking, even when Eudora is "hidden" by PC-Magic Hidden Folders. Any help is much appreciated!
    Thank you,
    Charles

    Thunderbird maintains a profile folder in the appdata folder on windows. You can uninstall reinstall and do just about anything you like, but the profile is unaffected by install and uninstall.
    Close Thunderbird.
    Type at the start menu search box %appdata% and press enter
    the thunderbird folder shown in windows explorer will contain the profile and setting file that points to the location of the profile. Delete that folder and your good to go.
    Start Thunderbird and it will be like a fresh install.

  • How to install photoshop without disk but with serial number

    Any ideas on how to install a permission of PS if I've lost the installation disk but do have the serial number?

    Hello Scotty,
    you should download a trial version e.g. there >>> http://www.adobe.com/downloads.edu.html >>> https://creative.adobe.com/products/download/photoshop
    and change it after that in a "real" version.
    For elder versions come back please or use https://www.google.de/search?newwindow=1&site=&source=hp&q=adobe+download+photoshop+&oq=ad obe+download+photoshop+&gs_l=h….

  • How to install itunes without cd/dvd rom support?

    Hi,
    Everybody knows when you install iTunes to any windows device, you will have a problem with your dvdrw afterwards. Till day, every installation i made end up with losing my dvd-rom.
    There is 3 solution to this problem, but those solutions never worked for me and last time i used my company notebook without it's dvdrom for over a year.
    Now, i reinstall my notebook with Windows 8.1 Update 1 and i want to install iTunes for my music but i can' let iTunes do the same thing again.
    Is there anyway install iTunes without cd-dvd 3rd party/usb/firmware driver support?
    I search on net and i found this link but it's way too old
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA44491?viewlocale=en_US

    QuickTime is required for iTunes to run. You can think of iTunes as a media manager "front end" to QuickTime which handles the actual playing of the media.
    Safari was an optional install when I installed iTunes on my Windows system. I wasn't forced to install Safari. MobileMe is also no longer automatically installed, though it will update if it finds an existing installation. I didn't get it forced on me when I installed on my Vista system.

  • How to install Aperture without original dvd

    I lost my Aperture 2 installation and Aperture 3 upgrade disks. How to install Aperture in my new Macbook ?

    Do you still have the Aperture 2 and Aperture 3 registration codes? Then you can download the Trial installer and use that to install Aperture on your new Macbook.
    You can download the Aperture 3 trial installer to reinstall Aperture from this webpage - there is a link to the trial and instructions on how to reinstall - don't let the title of this page distract you :
    Aperture 3.4: May quit unexpectedly on launch after updating
    The Aperture 3 serial number will be available in the about panel, when you are running Aperture on your old mac (from the main menu bar: Aperture > About Aperture).

  • How to install skype on older version of OS X

    I have Mac with 10.2.8 operating system and I would like to install Skype which requires 10.3.9 or newer. Is there sny possibility of upgrading the system?

    For what it's worth, early 2009 MacBook Pros came with Leopard (10.5).
    It is unfortunate that you do not have the original installion/recovery disks.  Under the circumstances, you should purchase Snow Leopard and install it from the retail disk.  If you intend to sell/give away your MBP, do not enter your Apple ID anywhere during or after the installation of OS X.  You want to leave this to the person you are selling/giving your MBP to.
    As for Yosemite, your MBP may or may not be able to run Yosemite.  Check the Yosemite system requirements carefully against your MBP.  (And although it says the MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) can run Yosemite there have been reports that the 2009 13" MBP cannot.
