If Windows is configured to allow you to get to the RUN screen via the Start button, do so, and then type "%appdata%\skype" (without the quotes) and press Enter -- this should cause Windows Explorer to open and display the contents of the Skype folder.
In that folder you should see other folder names which correspond to all Skype users that have ever used your machine to sign in (note that this only applies to the CURRENT Windows user that is signed in -- for other Windows logins, there should be corresponding Skype application folders)
Simply delete the folders (and all sub-folders) of the ones that you no longer wish to be listed on the dropdown menu on the Skype sign in screen.
Note: Ensure that "Show hidden files and folders" is switched on & Skype is not running.

Hello Saber,
Thanks again for your suggestions, but the problem persisted.
I was looking for ways to solve the problem, finally I decided to uninstall IE9, to do this I used the following process:
The following instructions apply to both Windows 7 and Windows Vista.
- Click the Start button, type "Programs and Features" in the search box, and then click View installed updates in the left pane.
- Under Uninstall an update, scroll down to the Microsoft Windows section.
- Right-click Windows Internet Explorer 9, click Uninstall, and then, when prompted, click Yes.
- Click one of the following:
- Restart now (to finish the process of uninstalling Internet Explorer 9 and restore the previous version of Internet Explorer).
__________________________________________________
Note
After you uninstall Internet Explorer 9, the previously installed version of Internet Explorer will be available on your PC. It isn't necessary to reinstall.
__________________________________________________
I did this process twice, because IE9 updates, then set the Internet Explorer 8. Then I called Skype and found that the problem was solved. Then I created a restore pointSystema. After that I installed the latest version of IE9. I tried again and this time Skype was working fine with IE9.
Maybe someone else with the same problem, may use this process to resolve the error2738 with IE9 and Skype
Regards,
Gustavo.
