Hello,

Yes Sarah, I also think that the file in witch Skype keeps his settings gets corrupted when Nicholas shuts down his laptop. But, Skype's settings in Windows are not stored in registry, but in configuration files in our Skype profile directory. That folder can easily be opened by typing
%appdata%\Skype\
in our "Run" dialog, witch is invoked by pressing WindowsKey+R. In the folder opened, there should be a folder with our Skype name (the one that we use together with our password to login into Skype). When we open the folder with our Skype name, we land in a folder with some folders and in most cases - a lot of files. The files witch store our Skype settings are "config.lck" and "config.xml". Most probably something in those files gets corrupted during shutdown and that is why Nicholas loses some of his Skype settings.

HTH

Best wishes,
Kostadin Kolev

where to look as that's probably saved in the registry.

Hope you get more suggestions for your problem but hopefully that might give 
some clue.

I'm not sure if this is a JAWS issue or not, but my Skype sound
settings keep changing.  So do the hotkeys for that matter.

I like to personalise my sound settings and hotkeys.  I always save
the changes after doing this.  They work for a while but then at some
point they revert to the default settings.  I think it does this every
time I turn my laptop off and then on again.

I am using Skype 5.0 (English) with the JAWS scripts 5.0b version 539
on Windows 7 (English).

Any ideas?

Thanks
Nic
