AIM Starting

[LMO]

Every time I start OE, AOL Instant Messanger starts up. I have unchecked
this option in both OE and AIM, but it still starts up when I start OE. Is
there a way to prevent this?
Thanks.

Start -> Run
Type in "msconfig" (without the quotes)

Click on the "Startup" tab.

Uncheck the AIM checkbox.

Sounds like it is integrated with OEX like Messenger. Check the options for
AIM.

There is no AIM (or other AOL type) checkbox in Startup. I have already
unchecked the boxes in OE Options and in AIM itself, and the bugger still
keeps starting up with OE!
AAAarrrggghhh!

Try removing Contacts from the Folder Tree on the left of OE.

What would that have to do with it?

It does make a difference.

Open AIM. Go to preferences and uncheck: "Make AIM my default instant
messaging program", and turn off the Contacts Pane.
