Have you ever tried logging into yahoo messenger from two clients on the same machine? Forget different ids... It does not even let you have two login instances with the same id.
Have you ever tried logging into gtalk from two clients on the same machine? Have you been able to at least start two instances of gtalk on your PC?
Look no further. For gtalk can be tweaked not only to run more than one instance of it , but you can actually login into them using different gmail ids.
Now why on the earth would someone want to do that? Well if for any chance that you maintain different ids for different purposes. Like one for your work, other for your family or girlfriend etc.
The tweak is simple. The first step is to create a shortcut to gtalk on your desktop. If you already have this, forget this step.
Next, right click on this shortcut, select properties, and choose the tab called Shortcut. You can see a field called ‘Target’ which is where our tweak will be inserted. At the end of this field, to the already existing text add the text as shown below.
/nomutex
Make sure that it is added right after the
……\googletalk.exe"
If any other text is present here, then delete it. So the final text in the target field will read
…………………… Google Talk\googletalk.exe" /nomutex
Click OK to save the propertied.
Done!!!!!!!!!!
Now every time you click this icon on your desktop, a new instance of gtalk will pop up. You can sign in with your different ids into each instance.
Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!
