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.
; stores skype password here
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Skype\ProtectedStorage]
"0"=hex:01,00,00,.................
these are the keys skype 5 portable left on xp
hope there is not sensible data
turn on skype portable SkypePortable.exe and shutdown
checked with process hacker if the process is still active
no the application is closed correctly

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:

did you test on xp?
i can do it on others pc
i tried to do it
hope it enough detailed and thank a lot to portable apps.com for the amzing job!
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.
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
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
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.
