Hello,

Can anybody tell me how to delete Skype names in the login screen (pull down menu) of Skype?

Different users used Skype at this computer. Some of the don't use this computer anymore but are still in the pull down menu when you log onto Skype. The listed users are irritating large at the moment. I want to delete some of there names. Is this possible? If so, please tell me how?

TX!

Best regards,

Two points -

1) "Your Windows Username" - is a subdirectory in the Documents and Settings folder - every user that has used the computer will have a subdirectory with his/her name.

2) "Application Data" is a hidden directory. You can set up your folders to display hidden directories or you will need to type in the name of this directory. Unless you have chosen the first option, the name of this directory will not be listed in a file list.

type in %appdata% into your Windows Explorer address bar and it will take you there. After it delete the folder that is named after the account you want to disappear.

I'm a newby on my MacOSX and can't delete the unwanted names on my Skype contact list. Can you walk me through this? I've tried the suggestions and am getting no where fast. Also looked through the Apps folder and have nothing there. HELP!!!
