Actually SKRead requires no setup if you want to accept the factory defaults. You will need to tell Skype to allow this program to access the Skype API. Once you have done this however, you need to do nothing else, if you wish, you can edit the INI file to customize your version of SKRead. If you review the readme file included with SK read. You will have absolutely no problems setting up the features the way you like the documentation is self-explanatory. It is unfortunate that this program is no longer under development. Some enhancements would be beneficial, such as the use of say tools and reduced verbosity within Skype four. Unfortunately, this is not going to happen, because the author no longer uses Skype and the source code is now lost. I hope that this information has been useful.

Hi Thanks for the link to sk read. I'm new to this and wondered does this need much setting up and I've also heard it works in the same way as skype watch as I'm stilll having problems setting skype watch to inform me when contacts sign in even when I've set options to show windows tray. Using skype 3.8.
