Through the magic of the Internet, this post, other people’s hard work, and l33t ninja haxor skills I bring you a portable skype install (for Windows). You could do this yourself pretty easily by following these directions.
- Download Skype
- Install Skype to a folder any folder, I prefer a folder called “skype” on the Desktop.
- Create a new text file labeled skype.bat
- Paste the following in to the text file and save it:
@echo off
set APPDATA=%~dp0Application Data
if not exist “%~dp0Application Data” mkdir “%~dp0Application Data”
set USERPROFILE=%~dp0
set ALLUSERSPROFILE=%~dp0
echo Starting Skype…
start %~dp0skype.exe - put skype.bat in the same folder as your skype install
- Double click on the bat file to run Skype
Even easier; download and unzip SkypePortable on a USB drive.
