How to fix AIM: URL's coming up in AOL IM instead of iChat AV
Authored by: bryang on Jun 27, '03 12:05:02PM
If you're get the aim: url coming up in AOL instant messenger instead of iChat, you need to change the helper application that MacOS X associated with aim: urls. Unfortunately MacOS X provides no easy way to do it, but a free program Vince does.
  1. Open Vince up.
  2. Select aim from the drop down list
  3. Click "Change helper"
  4. Select iChat AV
Here's where to get it. http://www.monkeyfood.com/software/vince/

MoreInternet, also from Monkeyfood Software (like Vince), is a System Preferences plug-in for changing helper bindings.
