Skype 8.69, problem with the scripts
I removed the Dropbox folders for translation work when I switched to the XML approach for localization. I am using the Desktop version rather than the Store version now so I will get updates sooner,

A pair of questions regarding Skype for Windows 10
Interesting that your friend's system is not running my scripts as expected. Make sure you restarted JAWS once after installing my scripts, because JAWS often won't see changes to the ConfigNames.ini

I have a question, Chrome Legacy Windows (Charm)
Ah, "rumor" is what I called it because I only heard one report and not from a Skype author; no disrespect meant. In any case, see my next announcement; there is now a solution in place for JAWS users
