I would like to have multiple accounts logged in Google Talk for Windows (poligamy). Is it possible?

If you wish to auto-login in both accounts, here is the procedure:
- Download script gtalk_save_config.txt and rename it into gtalk_save_config.bat
- Download script gtalk_launch_both.txt and rename it into gtalk_launch_both.bat
- Login into Google Talk client under account 1
- Run script "gtalk_save_config.bat"
- Logout and login into Google Talk client under account 2
- Edit "gtalk_save_config.bat" and change GTALK_ACCOUNT_INDEX from 1 to 2
- Run script "gtalk_save_config.bat"
Each time that you want to start the 2 instances of GTtalk, run the script "gtalk_launch_both.bat".
Note : the "save" script must be re-run each time that you change settings in the Google Talk client (change password, ...)
Note : the script can also be used to automate switching of other settings, for instance HTTP proxy settings, if you replace "Accounts" by "Options" in the registry path.

I discovered that the /nomutex
command line argument can enable multiple concurrent instances of Google Talk.
