Automatic away message
Is there anyway to have an away message come on automatically when AIM it starts up?

I know how to help you if you are using windows XP, I am not sure if this will work on any other operating system(It should though):

First go to Start, click run, and type "regedit" withough the quotes. A program will pop up, open this: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run
Then, right click on the right screen, and click new, and then new string value. You should name the string "away message", but you don't have to. Then, for the data, enter: aim:goaway?message=YOUR+AWAY+MESSAGE+HERE
Remember, instead of spaces, you have to use plus(+) signs.

Are you using windows XP? If you do it should work fine, I do not know about other OS's, I only have XP, so I cant test it on others.
