From the Knowledge Base "How do I log in as multiple accounts at the same time?" article:

1. Find a shortcut of Second Life. You may already have one on your desktop. If you need to find the executable (SecondLife.exe) so you can make a shortcut, Second Life is usually located in this directory:

C:\Program Files\SecondLife
2. Right-click the shortcut and choose Properties.
3. Click the Shortcut tab.
4. In the Target field, next to the path to the directory containing Second Life, insert a space and "-multiple". Like this:

"C:\Program Files\SecondLife" -multiple

Do not delete the quotation marks.

5. Click OK.
6. Now, try double-clicking the Second Life shortcut. After it opens, double-click it again. In your Windows Taskbar, you should see two instances of Second Life, showing you did this correctly.
