Is there any way that I can make it so when I turn on my comp. it doesn't log me in atomaically???

[AngelZoo]

yes.

Click on My Aim > Edit Perferences >

In the new window click on Sign On/Off (menu on left side)

Under Sign On you will see a check box for Start AIM when Windows Starts. Make sure there is NO check mark next to that option.

Click Apply > Click Ok.

Next.

On your desktop...

Click Start> Click Run >
Where it says Open: type > msconfig > Press Enter

In the new screen which pops up click on the Start Up Tab
In here you will see a list with check boxes, find the one for AOL Instant messanger. IF it is there (might not be) remove the check mark.
Click Apply > Click Ok > Click Exit Without Restart


When you restart your computer next time, hopefully it should not start up AIM. :)

You don't need to do that last step..just set it up on aim to not start up when you reboot and it works..

[AngelZoo]

slleiper: That's why I said IF it's in there, to do it.
Some of the older versions of AIM put it in the start up. :)

[slleipnir]

Oops, sorry hehe. Didn't read it all I suppose :P msconfig doesn't even work for me so I guess I don't know whats in it :p

[AngelZoo]

hee hee, can't help you with ICQ, I try to keep that program OFF my computer.

Not into 10 different guys from Jordan/Iraq messaging me every day looking for cyber or phone sex. :eek: :rolleyes:

[iceyshiver21]

I dont have that problem because I keep my profile off the thing, there for problem solved. I only have Pettalkers on my list.

[AngelZoo]

I last had ICQ like 3 or so years ago. So I don't know how much it has changed, I took myself off of the white pages thing, and left virtually no info in my messenger profile, but these people still found me some how! :(

[iceyshiver21]

[iceyshiver21]
