[WEB4LIB] AOL Instant Messenger PopUp

I haven't tried this recently, but the version of AIM that came with 
Netscape 4.x could be done in by:
Allowing it to open, then dropping down the Misc menu and un-
checking the "open when starting Netscape" option.  Then save the 
change, and delete the directory it lives in.  If you don't disable the 
startup option first, you get this annoying error since it tries to find 
AIM and can't.
