Well the
"Do you wish to continue to stay online?" question is
impossible to answer when
you don't see it. So let's use "Buzz Off" to do it
for us. All you have to do is drag the crosshairs icon, from the Add button, and drop it on the correct answer of the AOL pop-up. ( For those of fair hair, the correct answer is Yes. ) Then from the Advanced button choose the Action: Click 2. Hit the Test button, and that should be the last time you have to answer that STUPID question. (If the test FAILS then it will NOT work. Try a different Action. If no action passes the TEST, then Buzzoff will NOT work for your particular version of AOL) Assuming you run Buzof when you run AOL, and that you have the Enabled Checkbox checked.

Try this little
trick, using AOL itself, and see if it works for you. [
NOTE ! The Little Diver seems to have been removed from AOL and the
address is no longer a valid URL. This may be a temporary condition
or AOL has removed it permanently. January 21, 2004]
AOL users that want to stop getting knocked offline by that little pop up notice (the one that says.. you have been online forever, click here or go bye bye). Well, now you can make the pop up warning go bye bye instead.
From now on, when you
(double)-click on "Hello!" (or whatever else you
named it) from your favorites, it will bring up a small
(non-resizable!) window containing a person's head wearing
snorkeling gear, and waving at you, on a blue background. |
Here is a version of
AOL Super Free
Tools. This is a very nice application written by Lou A. Moccia
(and always FREELY distributed -Thanks
Lou Ü) that has been around since at least 1996 as
WIN95-Redialer which allowed a user to auto-DIAL until a connection
with AOL was finally established no matter how many busy signals
were encountered. It then became AOL SuperFreeTools as more features
were added, one of the main ones was an auto mouse click to those
annoying popup windows asking if you wish to stay online. Today the
SuperFreeTools have too many features to list. But do download a
version and put it to work for you. I am sure you will find many
features that you will use in addition to dealing with the AOL
timers. Here is aolsft.exe version 5.4 
for you to download.Also note that if you have an older version of windows95 you may need to install the VB6 runtimes freely available from Microsoft. |
| And here are the old apps that served us well in the past. Perhaps one or more may still work for you. | |||||
