Thank you so much..I knew it was something simple like that, but when
frustration sets in the brain shuts down. Thanks again.

Greetings Terri,

Assuming she's using the older but more widespread AIM 5.x versions, after it loads open
it
up, click the My AIM, menu, Edit Options, and then Edit Preferences. Click the Sign
On/Off
category, and then uncheck 'Start AIM when Windows starts'. Also, you may want to uncheck
'Automatically sign on when AIM starts' to make your life easier as well.

Unfortunately there's so many versions of AIM including the new AIM Triton that these
instructions may not be completely accurate. However, the option will be there to stop
this,
you may just need to poke around in the menus a little.
