Yes, I searched these boards, and found what seemed to be a great answer, but it did not work for me.
Without editing the registry, I was able to simply delete the default “away” message from my AIM (5.2.3292).
“Playing Game”, however, is a little bit tougher.
So I’m all the way in my “IAmGoneList” in regedit, and I delete “GoneMsg5”, because that is my Playing Game message. It isn’t GoneMsg1. I exit, restart AIM. Still there!
Any other suggestions?
i checked my registry, and my “Playing Game” message is listed as GoneMsg13… i’d suggest just replacing it with an away message of your own, one that you plan to keep around… like “brb” or something along those lines… that way you dont have to putz with getting rid of it…. its still there but now its useful to you
//EDIT: ok scratch that, apparently that doesnt work either… hmm i just tried my own advice, which i thought would work…. and it DOESNT. i replaced the Playing Game entry with my own away msg, and restarted AIM, and its STILL THERE!!! ok i’m out of ideas, cause now playing game doesnt even show up in the registry anymore but i still have to see it on the list of away messages
ya thats what ive been asking also. it seems that it just resets evertime aim starts
