The configuration of Skype that is not related to a specific account is saved within '''shared.xml''' file. On *nix systems that file is located in the ~/.Skype directory. The configuration file is clearly [[XML]] based.

Much of this file, although stored in textual form, is non-the-less binary. Most notably <code>config Lib BCM</code> consists of subtags named _D (where D is a decimal number), and within these tags there large blocks of Hex strings (A-F are written in capitals). Other binary tags are <code>config Lib Connection HostCache</code>, <code>config Lib Connection NatTracker ProbeResults *</code>, <code>config Lib FeatureTracker Signatures *</code>, <code>config Lib Griffin IP</code>, <code>config Lib NBwE_BandwidthStorage</code>, <code>config Lib NBwM_Storage</code>, <code>config LibPropsManager PermaProps</code>, <code>config Lib SD NodeTokens</code>.

CSV is also sometimes stored in some tags, such as <code>config Lib Connection Bandwidth InHistory</code> and <code>config Lib Connection Bandwidth OutHistory</code>.

Locking is done via an empty '''shared.lck''' file that is created in the same directory as '''shared.xml'''.
