\nThe setting preference is stored under
\nHKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\America Online\\AOL Instant Messenger (TM)\\CurrentVersion\\Users<\/p>\n

If you want to apply certain settings for all the screennames (username), we need to write a wise script executable that should pick all the screennames available in the machine and apply the settings…<\/p>\n

Better way is to create the script executable with the above logic and create it as shortcut.<\/p>\n

Step 1: The User has to launch AOL once in order to get the registry key created with the screen name
\nHKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\America Online\\AOL Instant Messenger (TM)\\CurrentVersion\\Users\\TESTID
\nHKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\America Online\\AOL Instant Messenger (TM)\\CurrentVersion\\Users\\HELLO<\/p>\n

TESTID and HELLO being the screenname<\/p>\n

Step 2: User has to run the shortcut that we have created to get the settings.<\/p>\n

Example: One of the settings will be applied as:’
\n[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\America Online\\AOL Instant Messenger (TM)\\CurrentVersion\\Users\\TESTID\\AWAY]
\n“EnableIdleAutoResponse”=dword:00000000
\n“IdleAutoResponseText”=”I am away from my computer rightnow.<\/FONT><\/BODY><\/HTML>”
\n“DisableAwayAutoResponse”=dword:00000000
\n“HideIMsWhenAway”=dword:00000000
\n“DisableSoundWhenAway”=dword:00000000
\n“DisableToastersWhenAway”=dword:00000000
\n“MessageWhileAway”=dword:00000000<\/p>\n

Vbscript to grab all the screennames in the machine:<\/p>\n

Dim objFSO, objFolder, objShell, objTextFile, objFile
\nDim strDirectory, strFile, strText
\nstrDirectory = “c:\\working\\aol”
\nstrFile = “\\AOLInstall.txt”<\/p>\n

Const HKEY_CURRENT_USER = &H80000001
\nConst REG_SZ = 1
\nConst REG_EXPAND_SZ = 2
\nConst REG_BINARY = 3
\nConst REG_DWORD = 4
\nConst REG_MULTI_SZ = 7<\/p>\n

strComputer = “.”<\/p>\n

Set objRegistry = GetObject(“winmgmts:\\\\” & strComputer & “\\root\\default:StdRegProv”)
\nSet objFSO = CreateObject(“Scripting.FileSystemObject”)
\nset objFile = nothing
\nset objFolder = nothing
\nConst ForAppending = 8<\/p>\n

strKeyPath = “Software\\America Online\\AOL Instant Messenger (TM)\\CurrentVersion\\Users”
\nobjRegistry.EnumValues HKEY_CURRENT_USER, strKeyPath, arrValueNames, arrValueTypes<\/p>\n

For i = 0 to UBound(arrValueNames)
\n strText = arrValueNames(i)
\n strValueName = arrValueNames(i)
\n Select Case arrValueTypes(i)
\n Case REG_SZ
\n objRegistry.GetStringValue HKEY_CURRENT_USER,strKeyPath, strValueName,strValue
\n strText = strText & “: ” & strValue
\n End Select<\/p>\n

Wscript.Echo strValue
\nSet objTextFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile _
\n(strDirectory & strFile, ForAppending, True)<\/p>\n

objTextFile.WriteLine(strvalue)
\nobjTextFile.Close
\nNext<\/p>\n
