I looked hard for such a thing but did not find a way to make it work. I'll try again though because I wanted to see if that version requires any scripting.

WTF! That appears correct: The Skype that comes with Windows 8.1 requires a Microsoft account, but the Skype for Windows Desktop version and the versions for other platforms like MacOS and iPhone do not require this. I have heard no indication that this will change, and I confess I would object if my current account were forced to rename, possibly to the point of discontinuing Skype use.
