Away Message Save v1.02

The Away Message Save program (awaysave.exe) is a command-line utility for backing up your AOL Instant Messenger away messages for a given screen name. The away messages are extracted from the system registry and outputted to a registry file. Running the registry file will cause the away messages to be inserted into the registry. This will cause any existing away messages to be overwritten!!! So use at your own risk.

Note: This has been tested with Windows XP and the registry files produced may not work under other versions of Windows.

v1.02 update: This will only now work with the most recent version of AIM. The away message storage format was changed. This is a temporary fix until I research a way to access both versions of the away messages.

Usage:

C:\awaysave <username>
Where <username> is the screen name that you want to save the buddy list from.
