How To Manage Skype in the Enterprise: Page 3 of 5

Config.xml

Here are some settings that can be found in Config.xml that you may want to adjust for each Skype user of a system. Remember Config.xml exists for each Skype user. This file is found under the Skype username directory for each user on the system. Modification of this file will adjust the users individual settings and environment and thus their client configuration and cause some possible inconvenience. Unfortunately, the Hotfix and Major Update settings are maintained in this file and not Shared.xml. To manage and update this file, a more complex utility would need to be used since replacing it would change all the users existing settings. You could however modify this file and include it as a part of a deployment for new users. Config.xml may be found in the following location:



(Documents and Settings\"windows_username"\Application Data\Skype\"Skype_username")

To set Skype to only allow calls only from people in the users contact list, set it to "buddies". This avoids call SPAM.
