Run Multiple Instances of GTalk
If you've got many Gmail accounts and don't want to keep logging on and off them every time you switch, a simple command line parameter in the Google Talk shortcut can solve your problem.
- First, create one copy of the Google Talk shortcut on your desktop – leave the original intact.
- Right click on this shortcut and choose Properties. The Target box will show you the path of the EXE for Google Talk – something like "C:\Program Files\Google\Google Talk\googletalk.exe"
- Change this to: "C:\Program Files\Google\Google Talk\googletalk.exe" /nomutex
and click OK.
{ FOR SCREENSHOT, CLICK HERE }
You will now be able to run multiple instances of Google Talk with different identities for each.
