IT Queries: Computer problems answered

I have had guests using my PC…their names now appear whenever I use Skype. How do I clear their names from the log in box?

Skype has a habit of leaving a list of the most recent calls and messages you’ve had on the service. Removing them is easy as you just have to right click the contact and click close.

If it’s a scammer, you might want to block them from future calls.

Keep in mind that when you allow people to use your computer, you give them access to your address books, accounts and the ability to use any credits you may have on services like Skype. So set up a new, limited access, Windows account for guests to use as we show in our Creating a New Windows User post.
