Details
As mentioned in the thread you said this first in, we need details of what happened. Without more detail of what keys and folder are being left, it's useless.

Only some
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT is HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes, so you've got those keys twice.
These keys are not relevant and we don't/shouldn't do anything about:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\microsoft\direct3d\MostRecentApplication\ HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\microsoft\windows\shellnoroam\muicache\ HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\directdraw\mostrecentapplication\ HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\controlset001\services\sharedaccess\parameters\firewallpolicy\standardprofile\AuthorizedApplications\List\ HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\controlset002\services\sharedaccess\parameters\firewallpolicy\standardprofile\AuthorizedApplications\List\ HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\currentcontrolset\services\sharedaccess\parameters\firewallpolicy\standardprofile\AuthorizedApplications\List\
These keys are relevant and should not be being created:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\.skype HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\callto\DefaultIcon\ HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\callto\shell\open\command\ HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\mime\database\content type\application/x-skype\ HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\skype.content HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\skype HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Skype\ProtectedStorage

Can't reproduce
I just installed Skype Portable 5.0.0.152, logged in, fiddled with sound settings and made a call to echo123. I can't reproduce the issues reported here.
Addition: ran it a second time, still no issues.

confirmed
skype 5 portable works perfectly
the issue happen if you try to import an older (like skype 4) profile/history to skype 5
i mean copy a profile to skype 5
but i installed skype 5 portable without importing/coping an old profile and it 100% portable
my truthful apologies

not fully portable
on run skype creates two folders called "SkypePM" and "Skype" in %appdata%. skype removes them when empty on unload.
that's not fully portable. my log folders should remain in portable apps folder

By Design
This is by design. Some apps, such as Skype, require settings to be in a specific location in order to run, usually %APPDATA%. As the settings are removed on exit, the program IS portable.
