I was wondering if there will be a folder in the skype folder where out contact list is. Meaning you can save your whole contact list on people you talk to and people who havent autorized you yet.

So that way when your getting a new pc you can just save the folder onto a cd or usb key or if it fits a floppy drive then you can just move it to the new computer and put it in the right folder and start up your skype program and its all there.

Im not sure if this has been mentioned before but if it has im sorry.

vote for the feature at:

Remote contactlist:
http://www.publicmind.com/enduser/group.jsp?node=653

Backing up contactlist:
http://www.publicmind.com/enduser/group.jsp?node=694

Skype uses the site to figure out which feature are popular and therefore gets priority over other feature in development

OK

i have undertand the problem

fisrt : go to "folders options" and make the hidden (folders and) files visibles. (sorry my english is not perfect and my windows is in french)

2 - if you follows the indications below the folders and files will appear.

"Win XP: C:Documents and Settings*Windows Username*Application DataSkype*Skype Username* "

magic ! isn't it ?

(i understand persons that don't know computers when they say "it never works !" it s real smile.png at least it can take a long time since the moment you install a soft and it works bigsmile.png )

Request this and UP GOES the SKYPE infrastructure costs. Then expect to pay for basic service currently free.

Come on - be creative - you all have been told where the contact lists reside.
