AOL Instant Messenger default away note, (automatic with screen saver)

[Celeste]

Hi everyone,
I have my Windows XP user account password protected for
when the screen saver comes on, because all my email is
in my account. But because I have chosen this password-
protect option, whenever I am logged into AOL Instant
Messenger and the screen saver comes on, the "default
away message" is automatically put up for my screen name.
Does anyone know if there is anything I can do to make it
so that DOESN'T happen? I don't want the default away
message to go up... Thanks for your help. (Please email
me...)

Is there a setting in the messenger program that lets you disable the use
of away notices?
