Keymasterthe easy answer: downgrade 😉
you /could/ try to find the dialog that creates the AIM today window in “AimRes.dll”. once you have found it delete it from the face of the earth. you will need a program called “Resource Hacker” (http://www.users.on.net/johnson/resourcehacker/, freeware). don’t let the name fool you, it is mostly used for non-lethal purposes.
if you upload your AimRes.dll file, i may be able to remove the dialog for you. although this would require you to have trust in me. hopefully you will make the right decision.
all this information is assuming that you can’t turn off the AIM today window. i do not use new AIM versions, so if someone else cannot stop the AIM today window from loading please post a follow up. 🙂

MemberA program called Messenger:Mate has an option to disable the AIM Today window upon sign on, but will still allow the AIM Today window to display when links such as SmartProfiles are clicked.

Memberi say go with M:M for a bunch of reasons not just for the aim today window but because it has a ton of features and a think a new version with more stuff will be out soon
