Vista Forums - View Single Post - Turn off AIM Away Message when computer locks?

cattycat92 · 04-27-2009

When my computer is locked, it automatically brings up an "Away Message" on my AOL AIM (version 6.8). Is there a way to turn this off? My computer is set up to automatically lock after 10 minutes, but sometimes - like if I'm just down the hall - I don't want my Away Message to go on.

Any ideas? I found some regedit ideas on other forums, but I think for very old version of AIM and/or different OS.

Thanks!
