We all miss one of the great awaited feature of how to set invisible status in gtalk. Just like yahoo messenger invisible status in gtalk will allow you to be online without being bugged by gtalk friends when you are at work or don’t feel like to be annoyed by your gtalk friends.
But the regular gtalk version provided by google does not allow you to be in invisible mode when you are logged in.

Create Desktop Shortcut To Chat With Your Favorite Gtalk Buddies
0 comments Posted by Deepak at 1:53 PMA useful trick for google talk users, which allows you to create desktop shortcuts for launching the chat window.
For example, I frequently chat with some person xyz@gmail.com in google talk, so every time I want to chat with him I would need to search and type his name or gmail id in search bar or you can also enable to see all online contacts by enabling the scrollbar.
So, if you don’t want to search every time the same person you frequently chat, you can create desktop shortcuts with the following target paths.
gtalk:chat?jid=xyz@gmail.com [starts a chat]
gtalk:call?jid=xyz@gmail.com [starts a call]

Google has included invisible mode feature in GMail Chat last month(Feb 22, 2008). This feature allows you to appear offline and still chat with your friends unlike MSN Messenger. I feel that this is one of the best feature in Yahoo Messenger which is now made available to us in GMail Chat. Please note that this feature is not availble on GTalk Clients. Check out GMail’s Official Blog for more information.
Hope this invisible status is reaches gtalk soon.

Run Multiple Instances of GTalk
If you've got many Gmail accounts and don't want to keep logging on and off them every time you switch, a simple command line parameter in the Google Talk shortcut can solve your problem.
- First, create one copy of the Google Talk shortcut on your desktop - leave the original intact.
- Right click on this shortcut and choose Properties. The Target box will show you the path of the EXE for Google Talk - something like "C:\Program Files\Google\Google Talk\googletalk.exe"
- Change this to: "C:\Program Files\Google\Google Talk\googletalk.exe" /nomutex and click OK.
I too had a similar problem.And found this as the solution after surfing through the internet.
