Is there any way through code, or some manipulation of the aim program, to force aim to load your latest profile. For instance, I manually made changes to the info.htm located on my machine, and I want it to auto-refresh my info with out too much work, like signing on and off or doing edit profile. Which are the only ways I currently know of. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. I think this could be very useful. – Mitch

Having the ability to do this would be awsome! I’d write some little programs to put random quotes in my profile and change the colors and stuff….that would be great…. 😀

August 9, 2003 at 5:05 pm #62122Mattingly23MemberAlso, does anyone know where the refreshed copy of the info is stored? Is it in the executable? Is it on the AIM servers?
