Running Multiple Instances of Google Talk and Yahoo Messenger

Multiple Instances of Google Talk
You may want to run more than one instance of Google Talk at once. Here is the way to do it
1) Click Start -> All Programs -> Google Talk -> Google Talk
2) Right Click Google Talk and click Properties
3) You will find this in Target
"C:\Users\Chandrasekar\AppData\Roaming\Google\Google Talk\googletalk.exe" /startmenu"
4) Append /nomutex to the link in Target
In my case, "C:\Users\Chandrasekar\AppData\Roaming\Google\Google Talk\googletalk.exe" /startmenu" /nomutex
5) Now click Google Talk again and you would see that an another instance of Google Talk will open. You can open as many instances you want.


Multiple Instances of Yahoo Messenger
1) Open Notepad and paste the below content

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\yahoo\pager\Test]
"Plural"=dword:00000001

2) Save as ymultiple.reg
3) Now double click the ymultiple.reg file. Click Yes to proceed.
4) Now click Yahoo Messenger again and you would see that an another instance of Yahoo Messenger will open. You can open as many instances you want.
