Multiple Instances of GTalk

How to use Gtalk on Windows with multiple Gmail accounts? Here is the solution...

I was using a chat messenger which use to support multiple messenger but after using it for some time I realized that my machine has become unresponsive :P. So I decided to come back to my old lovely GTalk but the only problem is we can not have multiple instance of 'The GTalk'. So I searched for an solution and luckily I found one.

Step I
Create a shortcut for gtalk and let's keep it on desktop.

Step II
Now right click on the shortcut icon and select 'Properties'.

Step III
In Shortcut tab the value for 'Target' will be something like

"C:\Users\Home\AppData\Roaming\Google\Google Talk\googletalk.exe" /startmenu

(The above value will change according to your gtalk location but they will be quite similar)

Now change this value to

"C:\Users\Amol\AppData\Roaming\Google\Google Talk\googletalk.exe" /startmenu /nomutex

i.e. add "/nomutex" word at the end of the value and now it will look like below.

Step IV
That's it you are good to go now whenever you double click on the gtalk icon a new gtalk window will appear and now you can enter you different gtalk emails and login in two or more gmail accounts at the same time.

Happy chatting!!
