The application helps to reset the following:
  • Skype settings
    Only the general settings of the program are deleted, and as a rule, when you start Skype, you don’t need to reconfigure anything.

  • User settings
    Settings of the selected profile (the history of the correspondence and the transferred files are not deleted). At startup, you will have to re-enter the password and reconfigure the program.

  • Emoticons
    The smileys database and images of emoticons are deleted. When you start, you'll have to wait a couple of minutes until the emoticons are downloaded again.

  • AppData folder
    Renames the folder %AppData%\Skype as %AppData%\Skype-timestamp (if necessary, the history of correspondence can be found in this folder).

  • Windows Audio Service
    Restarts the AudioSrv service.

  • Internet Explorer
    Displays a window for resetting Internet Explorer settings; after that the user must choose by himself, which settings he should reset.

  • Windows Firewall
    Removes all firewall rules that control Skype's access to the network. Also, disables outgoing rules that block access to remote servers.

  • File Hosts
    Creates a backup copy of the file Hosts (it is saved in the same folder) and returns the contents of the file by default (depending on the version of Windows).

  • Flash Player
    Deletes the settings files of Adobe Flash Player.

  • Windows Installer
    Configures and restarts the Windows Installer service.

  • Network Settings
    Updates the configuration of network adapters and clears the cache memory DNS.

  • Windows registry
    Removes all partitions from the Windows registry that store the Skype settings.
