If you have AIM installed: Simply click the buddy icon you want.
Non-standard AIM installations: First, right click the buddy icon of your choice. In Internet Explorer, click the option that reads
"Save Target As". Under Netscape, choose "Save Image As". Choose the location you wish to save the
icon to. If you have a folder set aside for images, that would be a good place. So would the AIM
folder. Wherever you save it, take note of the location.
Next, open up AOL Instant Messanger. Log on to the service. Click the "My AIM" menu option, then
expand "Edit Options" and select "Edit Preferences". Click on the "Buddy Icon" tab on the top of the
screen that comes up. Click the "Browse PC" button and select the image from the location you saved
it to previously. That's it!
