Subject: Remove Ads from your AIM Buddy List

Removing the AD box that appears on the AIM Buddy List
The first step is to run "notepad.exe".

Now, in notepad, select file and then open on the menu. Browse your computer to c:\program files\aim95\ or wherever you have AIM installed. Find the file "aim.odl" and open it.

Now that you see the contents of this file in "notepad" search for these two sections.

on_group(5)
{
load_ocm advert required
}

and

on_group(11)
{
load_ocm advert required
}

Remove the contents in between the two brackets so that it looks like this.

on_group(5)
{
}

and

on_group(11)
{
}

Now save this file by clicking on "File" then "Save" on the menu.

The last step is to simply exit AIM completely and restart it. Make sure that you do not have the AIM logo on your start bar either. You can remove it by right clicking on it and selecting "Exit".
