While i was away from my computer, my younger sister went on my account (form what i guess she did not notice that it was loged on mine, instead of hers) and went and proceded to add her AIM screan names to my storage, and begun playing with the settings to better suit her needs

later i turned off my computer, and when i turned it back on, 4 AIM windows have appeared on my start page

and every time i re-login they come back

i would simply like to know how to make it so they dont turn on whenever i log in

my distro is Fedora Core 2


i have searched this site and google, but it appears nobody ran into the problem when their younger sister made it so 4 aim windows pop up when they log in their names yet

thanks in advance
yasic

I'm going to guess Gaim:
tools -> accounts
You can delete her accounts there.
tools -> preferences
Fix your prefs there.

If they are popping up at startup you must have the session saved or something? I'm not sure how to do that stuff in Gnome. More specifics would help.

Not sure about this, but in the users home directory there should be a file called .whatever_AIM_client_you_use that will hold settings for the client. You could try to delete that. Then try to log out, and back in.

It could also be buddy pounces (to send a message when someone logs in). Tools --> Buddy Pounce.

thanks to all who helped :)

i have found what i needed: the AIM windows were saved on the desktop setup, and i simply needed to re set it up

thanks again
