I barely speak Mac so I don't know, but you can search through the Mac forum to see if there's an answer there:  http://community.skype.com/t5/Mac/bd-p/Mac

Re: Open my two Skype accounts at the same time & same window PC

I have repeatedly attempted the two methods and neither are working. tried the 'run' and paste method and trying hardest to locate the exe in programs to do as instructed - tried programs, tried control panel, and can't locate exe.   is this the ONLY method to acquire two independent accounts opening simultaneously side by side?  ta, v much

What Windows system are you on? Is it 32 or 64-bit?

On your 64-bit Vista open this folder:

 

C:\Program Files (x86)\Skype\Phone\

 

You should see there the Skype application file (Skype.exe).
