- Instead of inserting “gtalk:chat?jid=<username>@gmail.com” in step 3, i did put this:

“C:Users<user>AppDataRoamingGoogleGoogle Talkgoogletalk.exe” /gtalk:chat?jid=<username>@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 <user> is your Windows username.
Note that there is a space between the path and /gtalk:chat?jid=<username>@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.

It says it cannot find file. Near as I can tell, I've followed the instructions to the letter. What am I doing wrong? It doesn't want to work on my Vista machine. It says it cannot find file.
