While my little brother is occupying my desktop he is also occupying my Skype account.
I know about multi login and I am using it, but he keeps sending dirty messages to my friends from the desktop.
Is there any way I can kick him out of Skype?

A few solutions (considering the restrictions in the comments):
- Remember to sign out of skype (and don't remember password) every time you leave the computer
- Change your Skype password each time you think your little brother may be using it (this will force all other logged in clients to log out)
- Add a schedule task to kill the Skype process during times that you are normally not home. You can use a batch file to test for (the contents of) a file before killing the process. Each time you are at the computer, just create that special file.
Create a separated account with password on your computer and always run Skype as that user.
You may need to find someway to hide that account from welcome screen so your parents don't know.
- You can also create your own personal account and hide it like in the previous method. Before Vista, you'll need to press Ctrl+Alt+Delete twice at the welcome screen to log-in as that user. In Vista or later systems, just select other user and type the user name.

I agree with the rest that you should not save your password if you are having such issues.
Also if you are at some other location and you know that he is logged into your account just change the password at your end , this should log him off and also stop him from loggin in again (unless he also has your email password :P )
