But i got it to work like this: - Instead of inserting "gtalk:chat?jid=@gmail.com" in step 3, i did put this: "C:UsersAppDataRoamingGoogleGoogle Talkgoogletalk.exe" /gtalk:chat?jid=@gmail.com Observe that i used the same idea, but now my shortcut contains the path to googletalk.exe. Note that the path is between quote marks. And is your Windows username. Note that there is a space between the path and /gtalk:chat?jid=@gmail.com Note that there are three notes, and you are reading the third now. - Other way Since we are using a parameter, copy and paste the Gtalk shortcut. Then right click the new shortcut, click 'Properties', then in the field "Target" use the parameter after the path (use space after the path, use space between parameters). - Worked in Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit.
