Another way to do this is if you use AIM 4.8, it doesn't work with any newer version, and if it is an animated icon, the print screen method wont work.
With AIM 4.8 the Icons are all saved in your resources folder. For Win 95/98/ME default it C:\Windows\Application Data\AIM\<screename>\pictures
for 2000/XP it is C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\AIM\<screename>\pictures
and then all the buddy icons are saved as screenname.id where screenname is the SN on the person using it. You can then Browse for icon and select the id file to use that icon. If you switched back to AIM 4.8 to do this, you can get the icons, they will stay saved as id files in that folder, then you can upgrade AIM again, and select those id files as your icon.
Also, Trillian will save all the buddy icons for you as files in your Trillian user directory, you can select your buddy icon from those if you go an log in with Trillian.
