Using symlink with skype profiles

Post by Board » Fri Oct 16, 2015 2:52 am

hello

i am using skype and want move this folder (with profiles and other data):
C:\Sandbox\Administrator\Permanent\user\current\AppData\Roaming\Skype\
to another location through symlink

this idea works for all sandboxed programs (firefox, thunderbird, etc) but not for skype. i see skype process in sandbox and see no interface. it doesn't works as planed.

i noticed that symlink for skype folder works well only in sandbox location:
C:\Sandbox\brd\Default_SandBox\user\
and not works when i make symlink outside.

so my question is - how i can fix this issue?

Server 2012 isn't officially supported for SBIE. http://www.sandboxie.com/index.php?Freq ... quirements

However, I know MS made some changes to Skype in the most recent Fast Ring build in Win10 that made it part of Metro Apps, if that applies to Server 2012, then Skype may not work.
