Hi,
I have encountered the following problem. I need to run several instances of skype under single account. I have removed SkypeMutex so now the second instance starts. Unfortunatly after that it says that skype database could not be loaded because possibly another skype instance uses it. Please tell me which file handles needs to be closed to avoid this problem?
Regards

Handles of *.dbb files from ...\Application data\Skype
(or ...\AppData\Roaming\Skype in Vista).

Skype holds these files permanently open during
the whole session and does not
permit sharing even for reading. Forcible closing of
these handles by any other program will make Skype
very unhappy and, besides, may lead to corruption of some
of the files. Nevertheless, there are tricks, permitting one
to read these files by another program, but Skype itself
(i.e. another copy of it) evidently knows nothing about these tricks,
otherwise he would not complained about "failing to open the database".
