To add these, open up your GT shortcut, and where it says "Target:" add one or more of these inside the quotations, but after the .exe part.



/nomutex: allows you to open more than one instance of Google Talk
/autostart: when Google Talk is run with this parameter, it will check the registry settings to see if it needs to be started or not. If the "Start

automatically with Windows" option is unchecked, it won't start.
/forcestart: same as /autostart, but forces it to start no matter what option was set.
/S upgrade: Used when upgrading Google Talk

/checkupdate: check for newer versions
/plaintextauth: uses plain authentication mechanism instead then Google's GAIA mechanism. Used for testing the plain method on Google's servers.
/nogaiaauth: disables GAIA authentication method. The same as above.
/factoryreset: set settings back to default.

How To Conference Calls From G Talk :-


What you need to do to have conference calls: Open up a copy of Google Talk on all computers with which you wish to conference. After one copy is

opened make a new shortcut for Google Talk but at the end of it add /nomutex. If you installed it to the default folder then your shortcut should read

"C:\Program Files\Google\Google Talk\googletalk.exe" /nomutex. Open 2nd instances of the software on every user's computer. After this start a chain:

User 1 should connect on one instance to user 2. User 2 will connect on his second instance to user 3. User 3 will connect using his second instance

back to user 1. With this chain everyone is connected to everyone.

Nickname & Status Message :-


You can't change your nickname in a way that other people will see it change. Every nickname in the Google Talk contactlist is the part that is before

@gmail.com (only the alphabetical characters are used) or the name you chosen for your GMail account. To change the nickname need to go to your

Gmail account and change the name there. Choose Settings, Accounts, and then Edit info. Click on the second radio button, and enter your custom

name. As a result all of your emails will have that nick as well, there is no way to seperate the two. You can add a website in your custom message, it

will be clickable when someone opens a conversation window with you.

Contacts :


You don't need to say Yes or No when someone wants to add you as a friend; you can simply ignore it, the request will go away. (On the other hand,

someone with whom you chat often will automatically turn to be your friend, unless you disable this).
The Gmail account 'user@gmail.com' can't be invited as your friend.

Play Music In G talk :-


It's possible to broadcast music, MP3, etc.. through Google Talk.
Unplug your microphone. Double click on the speaker icon in the lower right corner. This will open up "Volume Control". Select "Options" and then

"Properties". Then check the button next to "Recording" then click OK. You may also have to change your setting under Mixer Device. Now the

Recording Control screen should be up. On my computer I selected "Wave Out Mix". Click on the green phone in Google Talk and call your friend.
