There you go...fully updated with more options like removing shortcuts to spyware This program works really well for me.

to remove the send to command, you just go to C:/documents and settings/[your_user_name]/SendTo/ and delete the shortcuts

AIM is dangerous. I say, just dont use it. I'm sorry that I feel this way, but an IM program that forwards your computer activity to 3 different servers, installs bad software, and other annoying mess...Just use trillian or gaim.

[rae_rae]

"forwards your computer activity to 3 different servers" ?

Do you mind telling us what you are talking about? That sounds highly suspect ;]

And isn't Gaim only for Linux boxes? You can't install AIM on Linux unless you have a Windows emulator like Wine...So that's pretty much stating the obvious; If I had Linux installed, I would pretty much be forced into using Gaim ;]

I have tried Trillian and Gaim both. Yes, they are nice but in 'my opinion' they are missing at least one very 'important to me' feature; permissions/file serving capacity.

Anyway, we are all looking forward to your information ;]
*Waits...*

[x7blackandblue]

Well the three different servers are Viewpoint, and AOL. The Third one was a misread now seeing it is only Two. And don't use GAIM or Trillian. Nobody is forcing you to.

[x7blackandblue]

PS- No, GAIM Is for Windows and Linux.
