Guild Wars - Multiple Instance Creator

Okay, so much like many of you, I have more than one GW account. Also, I want to be able to run these at the same time ON THE SAME COMPUTER
so I can trade inventory and farm with one character while the other character is selling stuff, or whatever. So I decided to create an easy-to-use
batch file to do this. Fortunately for you, I also decided to post it here for everyone's use

With this program, you can run up to 10 instances of GW on your computer! (You could run an infinite amount with simple modification)

So, some things you need to do first to get this to work on your computer:

1) You must be running some form of Windows (I'm not sure if this will work on older Windows, like '95 or older)

2) You must also make a copy of your GW directory for EACH instance of GW you wish to run

3) Download Handle v3.4
http://download.sysinternals.com/Files/Handle.zip
If the above link is dead, search Google for "Handle - a command-line handle viewer By Mark Russinovich"

4) Download Stream Editor v3.59 (sed or ssed)
http://sed.sourceforge.net/grabbag/ssed/sed-3.59.zip
If the above link is dead, search Google for "ssed" or "sed", you should be able to find it easily.

5) Unzip both of these files.

6) Rename the "sed-3.59" file to "ssed" (or rename it to "ssed.exe" if you have hide file extensions turned off)

7) Move both executables (you don't need the text files that come with the zips) into your system directory (usually "C:\Windows\System32\")

8) Download my batch file from here: http://multigw.vndv.com/

9) Open the batch file in any text editor (like notepad)

10) Change the GWPATHs in this file to wherever you have your copies of GW

11) Double click the batch file to run all the instances.

12) Enjoy maximum multi-GW gaming satisfaction!

I'm pretty sure this shouldn't cause any legal issue with ANet. You can only do this if you own more than one license of GW. The only difference is you're using ONE computer instead of TWO or more.

Also, I should mention, I did this with my top-of-the-line computer, so your mileage may vary.

If anybody has any trouble with this (you shouldn't -- I made it very idiot proof), let me know.

Otherwise, good luck and have fun!

Below are some screenshots (I only have 2 accounts, so I can only show you the opening screen with more than 2). Also, I have 2 dual screen (widescreen) monitors, so the resolution on these are really high.
