Use Multiple Google Talk Accounts Simultaneously
Do you have more than one Google Talk accounts and want to use them all simultaneously without logging off from another account? However, by default Google Talk does not let you use multiple accounts at a time and you have to sign out one account in case you want to use another one.
But you can make your GTalk go multi without installing any patch or hack, by just adding a simple command in the GTalk shortcut.
Adding (/nomutex) command in the existing GTalk shortcut, or creating a new shortcut with (/nomutex) command parameter will let you use multiple GTalk applications at the same time with out conflicting with each other.
Here is the step by step guide to make your GTalk go multi.
To edit existing shortcut:
- Right click on the existing Google Talk shortcut and then click Properties
- Goto Shortcut Tab in Properties window
- In the Target field add “/nomutex†(without quotes) at the end or replace with the following one
“C:Program FilesGoogleGoogle Talkgoogletalk.exe” /nomutex - Then click OK to save.
To create a new shortcut:
- Right click on the Desktop or anywhere you want GTalk shortcut
- Select New and then choose Shortcut
- In the Location field paste the following command line
“C:Program FilesGoogleGoogle Talkgoogletalk.exe” /nomutex - Click Next
- Give desired label to shortcut i.e. “Multi GTalkâ€
- Then click Finish.
Now click on the GTalk shortcut and it will open a new application window, login to you account and start using it. Open as many GTalk windows you want simply by clicking on shortcut.
