TurboChat

What is it?

TurboChat is a way to quickly load your IM chat clients with a simple double click (or single click if in the Quick Launch bar!

What IM clients does it support?

Currently it will support AIM, WLM (formerly MSN), YIM, XFire, GAIM and Trillian!

Why did you make this?

I made this application because I used to run a few IM clients and one day I was tired of going to Start > Programs > {IM Client Shortcut). With this application, I could load whichever I wanted with one or two clicks.

What does this application do?

On your first run it will ask you which IM clients you want to load. After it loads the selected IM clients, it exits quickly. It takes a matter of nanoseconds to load your IM programs.

What do I do if I mess up?

A very small ini file will be created so that should anything go wrong, you simply delete the ini and restart the program.

Done. Sorry about that.

Nice utility. Works well for me.

The only issue I had was the GAIM input was looking specifically for gaim.exe, but I use the portable version.

I had to put a * in the file name box so that the dialog would display all files. I then selected PortableGaim.exe and all was well. And of course that was just for the setup, no issues thereafter.

Thanks, Tarun!

I'll add support for that tomorrow when I revise a few things.
