To use application parameters create a shortcup to the
application, then open up the shortcuts properties and edit
the "Target" field to look like
"C:\Program Files\Google\Google Talk\googletalk.exe"
/nomutex Quotes Included!
^ This will allow mutilpe instances of the application
simultaneously.
Save Shortcut and your done. Multiple params can be used as
well example: ...\googletalk.exe" /nomutex /checkupdate
Button Codes:
These are the codes in googletalk.exe that edit what the
buttons do when pressed.
To edit this you need: ResHacker, ResEdit, or
eXeScope
In this example we will use ResHacker
I have gone through 40000 - 40100
40001 - Sign In Dlg
40002 - Sign Out
40003 - Settings/General
40004 - Minimize

I added three buttons to my tray menu. A Settings button, a force logout button, and a force login btn.
1. Open googletalk.exe in ResHacker
2. Go to Menu -> 110 -> Click on 1033
- 1033 will open up as a text.
3. To add these buttons find the lines:
MENUITEM "", 0, MFT_SEPARATOR, MFS_ENABLED
MENUITEM "About...", 40023, MFT_STRING, MFS_ENABLED
And Replace with:
MENUITEM "Force Sign In", 40001, MFT_STRING, MFS_ENABLED
MENUITEM "Force Sign Out", 40002, MFT_STRING, MFS_ENABLED
MENUITEM "", 0, MFT_SEPARATOR, MFS_ENABLED
MENUITEM "Settings", 40003, MFT_STRING, MFS_ENABLED
MENUITEM "About...", 40023, MFT_STRING, MFS_ENABLED
4. Click Compile Script
5. Make Sure! that no instances of googletalk.exe are
running
6. Click File -> Save
7. Your Done! Now Open up Google Talk and look at your
changes.
Now your tray meu will have new functioning
buttons and look like this:

Registry Settings:
Here you will edit Google Talk's registry settings to your
liking.
1. Goto Start -> Run or Windows Logo + R
(on Keyboard)
2. Enter "regedit" and press run
3. A windows will appear with your regstry.
4. Goto Edit -> Find or Ctrl + F
5. Find "Google Talk"
- The first result should be:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\Google Talk
6. Before editing any keys right click the Google Talk
folder in the treeview and select export. type a
filename and save it in a memorable place! This is for
Backup Purposes
7. Always stay on by Pt®
[Download:
.Reg ,
.Zip] pre-built reg file or make your own:
- Open notepad and add the following text:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\Google Talk\Options] "show_pin"=dword:00000001
- Save it as showpin.reg
- Now double-click the reg file and install it.
To Remove the show_pin reg key follow step
1 to 5, then open the options folder, right click the
show_pin registry entry, and click delete. and
To reset all your registry preferences use the
/factoryreset parameter(see above Parameters section for
how to use params) by memodude
8. Now if you know what your doing you can also edit some other keys/options to your liking. If you make a mistake and need to start over double click you backup export that you made earlier and install.
Tunes 2 Friends
Find out how to broadcast music to your friends!
(Tweak from:
http://www.twittv.com/googletalk.html)
Note: this will change depending on user
Sound hardware and software. It might not work for
everyone.
As for me this does not work cause I have a bad/cheap
sound card.
1. Unplug any and all mics.
2. Open up your Volume Control in your tray or
from: Start -> Control Panel -> Sounds, Speech, and
Audio Devices -> Sounds and Audio Devices -> Device
Volume GroupBox -> Advanced
3. Open Volume Control's Properties: Options ->
Properties
4. From there select the Recording button and check the
"wave out mix" or "stereo mix" or whatever you have
besides microphone. Select ok and now you have the
Recording Control.
5. Check "Select" on the wave out mix or stereo mix
options then open up gt and make a call to a friend to
test whether it works. If sucessful your friend should
hear whatever music you are playing through your
computer.
You may have to play around with it for you to get it to work on your computer. This just lists the basics to get it to work.
6. Like I said earlier it will not work for everyone.

Along with sending Tunes 2
Friends Hold a Conference on GTalk using polygamy / nomutex:
http://lpahome.com/call.html
Wumpus.game
Interestng!
The Term play wumpus.game was found in the GT
app. Actually on the term itself but numerical
representation on the about dialog:

play 23 21 13 16 21 19 . 7 1 13 5
the numers are letters in the old a=1 code
when translated it =
play w u m p u s . g a m e
now add wumpus.game@gmail.com to you buddy list on GT
Every once and awhile it will be online and when it is just talk to it (anything works) and it will ask you you want instructions send "y" or "play" back to it and wait. Now you get to play Hunt the Wumpus
Polygamy
/ Nomutex Patch
Want to actually patch your exe to always have nomutex?
Warning! We are not resposible for and trouble or problems this may cause you. The patching of your exe can be considered an illegal act so do so at your own risk! We are here to just show you how nomutex works.
I do not recommend patching your exe but instead use the /nomutex parameter(see above param. section for help on using params.) (Also params are legal). I personally just use the param.
Manual Patch:
Before we begin you will need one of the following:
PE Explorer or Universal Explorer
or W32Dasm89 (W32DSM89) or
Dissasembler of your choice
1. Dissasemble googletalk.exe
2. Apply the code changes:
Here are the changes that need to be made to make your GT.exe for polygamy:
- Lines are the Original un patched exe
+ Lines are the Patched exe
Change the - Lines to look like the + lines
- 004536FD 3BC7 cmp eax, edi + 004536FD 8BC1 mov eax, ecx - 004536FF 7505 jne 00453706 + 004536FF EB05 jmp 00453706 - 004536FF(C) + 004536FF(U)
I have noticed it is slightly different depending on dissasembler: Following by Pt®
- 004536FD . 8BC1 CMP EAX,ESI - 004536FF . EB 05 JNZ SHORT googleta.00453706 to this: + 004536FD . 8BC1 MOV EAX,ECX + 004536FF . EB 05 JMP SHORT googleta.00453706
3. Compile the changes and Save the new
googletalk.exe
4. Enjoy GTalk Polygamy!
Automatic Patch:
If you dont want to patch it yourself you can get a patcher
by Pt® here:
