Running Skype in Sandbox

Hi

I have installed skype in the sandbox to try the program and found 101 registry keys under the skype name, after I deleted the sandbox.

This program was never installed on this machine before. I thought that when I use the sandbox there should not be any s

ign of a program installed in the registry M I wrong?

With 3.28, I want to set it to run Skype, but only ever in a sandbox. I do not want to install Skype on my machine outside the Sandbox. Is there a way of doing this so that the Skype application starts itself in a sandbox automatically when the computer is switched on? At present, I downloaded the Sykpe.exe whilst inside the Sandbox, and installed it whilst still in the Sandbox. This means that to use it, I need to open the Sandbox manually, and then launch the programme. What I would like to do is have all this happen automatically when I boot up the computer. Is this possible?

Hi daor79, and welcome to Piriform.

Off hand I would say not, but you can achieve what you want by using Skype Portable. Portable Apps install themselves into a folder of choice, not into the registry as a normal install.

You can run them from USB thumbdrives if you wish, but I've found this can cause some apps to run slowly, although I don't know if Skype would.

I'm gonna try this particular portable myself as my daughter wants to use Skype.
