One popular question from our beta testers is "In the AOL Client, how can I make myAOL the default homepage?". Firstly, you can not replace the welcome screen - but you can have another page load when you sign on to AOL. Follow the steps below.
Step One: Load the "Welcome Screen" Settings
In the AOL Client, hold down Ctrl + K to load the "Keyword" form. It will look like this:
Then enter "welcome settings" and hit "Go".
Step Two: Set myAOL as your page
Now you will see the Welcome Screen settings option. It will look something like this:
Select the last option "Welcome Screen and this AOL Keyword or URL:".
Enter http://my.aol.com
Then hit Save.
You are done! It's that easy and that simple.
Now when you logon to the AOL service, you will load myAOL at the same time.
These steps work with AOL 9.0 and AOL 9.1.

1. Your new system continues to be the worst possible insult to a customer. It goes from bad to worse. All the flashy advertisements and tacky add-ons are an insult to an intelligent person. Why not leave well enough alone and keep your old system. Don't your top echelon people ever see these comments or are they kept from them while you "play" with new ideas?
