Is there any way that I can make it so when I turn on my comp. it doesn't log me in atomaically???
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..
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. :)
ok whos dumb?? I through all those tabs and missed that one for some odd reason.....now does any one know how to do it with icq?
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
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:
I dont have that problem because I keep my profile off the thing, there for problem solved. I only have Pettalkers on my list.
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! :(
wierd....Ive never had that problem with icq2000
I have every messenger....so yah I couldnt just not have icq
