Need a tweak

Since I am trying to tweak my 7.2 Netscape, I wonder if there is a way to rid myself of the little yellow AIM icon that sits in the group of Netscape icons on the left side of the screen at the bottom. I don't use AIM or any chat program so don't need it there and it annoys me . I know you could get rid of it in earlier versions, but that same tweak did not work this time when I tried it last night or either I did something wrong. Anyway, is there a old or new hack to get rid of the AIM icon and make it go away? TIA.

I don't know how to make just the AOL icon go away but you can turn that toolbar off totaly by clicking View, Show/Hide & unchecking the component bar. See screen shot

 

Vanilla Ice,

To remove the AIM icon from the Component Toolbar:

Enable Software Installation in Preferences
Install Mnenhy 0.2

Restart Netscape
Uncheck AIM under Known Chrome Packages, in the Chrome Manager.

Access the Chrome Manager by clicking on:
Edit | Preferences | Mnenhy

Thanks Ramona

I wasn't aware that it was possible to just remove the AOL icon. Good information, thanks again

Thanks BearNunya, for the help. If Ramona had not posted a permanent fix I would have used your advice.

Ramona, Thanks much for your quick response. Did it as per your instructions and it worked like a charm. No more annoying AIM icon.
You are very smart

And, of course, there is another way., called Mozilla or Firefox

 

Vanilla Ice,

My smart came from Google!

Westside,

You are the smartest!

Smartest? Nah, a wise guy, though, is more accurate. <
