Run Multiple Instances Of Gtalk

I have multiple Google accounts, each with a different purpose and hence I need to run more than one instance of GTalk to login with all my accounts simultaneously. I never thought I'd be writing on something this basic but living in a Girls' Hostel for 2 years, made me confident that this post too will find a reader. :D
All you need to do is-
  • Right click on the Start Menu shortcut of Google Talk and select Properties.
  • In the Properties window, select the shortcut tab.
  • At the end of your Target address, add /nomutex
  • Click Apply.

That's it!
Told you, this was too basic to be discussed.. :D
So next time you click on that shortcut, you get a new instance of Gtalk and you can sign in with a different account.. :)
Happy Chatting... :)
Ciao!
