Shortcut to a Contact
If you have someone on your contact list who you talk to often, you can create a desktop shortcut for them.
Just right-click on your desktop, select New >Shortcut and enter this in the Location text box:
g t a l k : c h a t ? j i d = username@gmail.com
Where “username” is the Gmail ID of the person in question. If Google Talk is [image] running, this shortcut opens a conversation window with this person. If not, Google talk will start up, sign in and then open the conversation window.
To call the person, change the shortcut to: gtalk:call?jid=username@gmail.com
