Run Multiple Instances of Google Talk

Submitted by Ankit Sabharwal on May 30, 2009 – 12:19 pmNo Comment

gtalkThere are many times when people have 2-3 Gtalk Id’s and they want to log on to both of them simultaneously. Also 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.

Want to run Google Talk with multiple Gmail identities? If you have several Google Gmail accounts you also may want to run multiple instances of Google Talk This is especially important for families that share a single PC. Nothing worse than a family member signing you out so they can sign in under their own account!

Basically, to have “Google Polygamy” you need to run Google Talk with the following switch: /nomutex

Step 1: Right-click on the desktop
Step 2: Select New
Step 3: Select Shortcut
Step 4: Paste this into the text box:

c:program filesgooglegoogle talkgoogletalk.exe” /nomutex

Step 5: Click Next and choose a shortcut name such as Google Talk1, Google Talk2, or something related to your Gmail account for easy remembering which account is which.
Step 6: Click OK a few times.

Peace.
