Multiple Instances Users in google talk

If you have several google talk accounts, you may want to run multiple instances of google talk at once. Here's how to do it.

Many users, including myself, like to have several different personalities on IM–Work, play, etc. By default google talk with only allow you to run instance of the program at a time. Here's how to get around that…

Run google talk with the following switch: /nomutex

If you installed google talk to the default location, you can easily create a shortcut to this setting.

1. Right-click on the desktop
2. Select New
3. Select Shortcut
4. Paste this into the text box:
"c:\program files\google\google talk\googletalk.exe" /nomutex

5. Click Next6. Name it whatever: Google Talk Multiple, etc.
7. Click OK until you are done.

For Geeks : you can change the googletalk.exe using suitable tools like hexeditor and do this

Change this:
004536FD . 3BC6 CMP EAX,ESI
004536FF . 75 05 JNZ SHORT googleta.00453706

to this:
004536FD . 8BC1 MOV EAX,ECX
004536FF . EB 05 JMP SHORT googleta.00453706

Please inform me if it isn't legal
