Now Skype will launch as soon as the computer turns on.

Adding to windows startup

To execute this procedure First of all, open the menu Start windows, and click on the item “All programs”.

We find the “Startup” folder in the list of programs, right-click on it, and from all available options action, select “Open”.

A window opens in front of us through Explorer, where there are shortcuts for those programs that load themselves. Drag or copy the Skype shortcut from Desktop into this window windows table.

That's it, you don't need to do anything else. Now Skype will load automatically when the system starts.

Activating autorun for third-party utilities

In addition, it is possible to configure Skype to autostart using special applications who are engaged in cleaning and optimizing the operation of the operating system. Among the most popular of them is CClener.

After launching this utility, go to the “Service” tab.
