However, here is a very simple trick which can be used to open multiple Google talk accounts from single installation of Google Talk.

All you have to do is, right-click the Gtalk shortcut icon and then open the properties window. Next, follow these steps:

1. Go to the Shortcut tab and navigate to the “Target” field.

2. Now, you have to replace the Target text with:

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

3. Now click the Apply button and then the OK button.

4. That is all you need to do to set up your Google Talk to open multiple accounts. Now click the icon of Google Talk as many times as you want to open a new Gtalk window.

This will open another instance of Google Talk where you will be able to enter a different username and password which will open another user account from the same computer.

Note: When you open two or more instance of Google Talk, it opens the second one above the first one which completely overlaps the currently running Google Talk window. Use your mouse and drag to separate the two Gtalk windows.

Alternatively, you may try out Digsby – a wonderful IM client which let’s you chat with Facebook and twitter friends, along with chatting with Google Talk buddies.

Google talk supports audio and video chat but support for screen sharing is not available at this moment. There are lots of applications available for free screen sharing e.g Teamviewer, Logmein, Mikogo, Skype but Yuuguu is by far the simplest screen sharing software available for all platforms – Windows, Linux and MAC.

The advantage of using Yuuguu is that you can import contacts from Gmail, Yahoo, Microsoft Outlook or any other Email client and start an online screen sharing session immediately. After importing all your email contacts at Yuuguu you will be able to see which of your friends are online. Then you can request to see their screen or share your computer screen with them.

Apart from screen sharing, you can also exchange instant messages and voice chat (available only in US), I think Yuuguu is one of the strong alternatives of desktop Gmail chat clients like Digsby.

Sharing Your Computer Screen With Google Talk Friends

Setting up the Yuuguu client is fairly simple, just sign up for a free account with Yuuguu and associate your Gmail account. Then import contacts from your Gmail or Yahoo account and it’s done. You will see all the contacts on Yuuguu client who have installed the Yuuguu client on their computer.

To start sharing your desktop screen, click “Show” on top of the Yuuguu client and your friend will receive a new screen invitation request.

Once accepted, he will be able to see your entire desktop on a small window. You can also request to see your friends computer much the same way you shared your computer screen.

Here is how the sharing interface looks like :

Requesting Control of the Remote computer

Apart from sharing the desktop, you can also request control of the remote computer using Yuuguu. When your partner accepts the remote control request, you will be able to control your friend’s computer – as if you were sitting besides him and using his computer’s mouse or keyboard.

You can move program windows, open windows explorer, run software applications and everything else – it’s really fun and insanely useful. Ask me, it’s way better that voice or video chat and insanely useful.

The free plan  of Yuuguu will let you use 100 minutes of free screen sharing sessions every month. If you want more features, you have to upgrade to a better plan – see pricing
