I’m not very active as you can see, so I want to celebrate this with writing a second-post-of-the-year.

Since a couple of months I’m using Google Talk a lot more than before. Last week I just wondered if it is possible to run multiple instances of Google Talk. You might think why should I use multiple instances but it becomes handy when you have multiple accounts and you want to be online with both at the same time. It is very simple to do this, you only have start Google Talk with a parameter. To make that easy you can edit your current shortcut to Google Talk or make a new shortcut with the following action (assuming your installation folder is the same):

“C:\Program Files\Google\Google Talk\googletalk.exe” /nomutex

Now when you run Google Talk using that shortcut and do it a second time, you see a new instance showing up.
