It’s extremely easy to make portable skype. Please follow the below step.
- Create a folder in the USB and give Name as you like eg. “Portable Skype”
- Now go to the installed Skype app on your computer (normally located at C:\Program Files\Skype) and look for a file called Skype.exe
- Right-click and copy that file. Do not move it anywhere. Just right-click and copy.
- Now go to the USB folder Portable Skype and paste.
- In the “Portable Skype” folder, make a new sub-folder called Data.
- Inside the “data” folder, make a new text document using Notepad or something similar. Name the file skype.bat
- Open this file called skype.bat and paste this Red highlighted path skype.exe /datapath:”Data” /removable
- Save and close the file. That’s it. You’re done. You now have a portable version of Skype.
I tasted this by moving the whole lot onto a USB stick and then launching it from there. It launched immediately but the firewall asked me if I wanted to let it pass. So you would need to configure the firewall of the computer you would be using the portable Skype on to allow the app through.
