Please follow the steps in order as they appear below:
- 1) Manually Locate the folder:
C:\Program Files\AIM6\services\imApp\ver6_#_#_#\content\im
Note that ver6_#_#_# represents your version number of AIM. It will change each time you upgrade AIM. Simply copying and pasting this path into Windows Explorer will not work.
You must manually go to this folder starting with “My Computer” for Windows XP or “Computer” for Windows Vista. Click on your C:\ Drive and follow the path as it is shown in step one. You need to end up at a folder called “im” to find the file. Otherwise you can optionally search for the file named “template.html” by clicking Search in Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer).
- 2) Right Click Template.html (icon should be a page with an e)
- 3) Click Properties
- 3) Click Change
- 4) Select Notepad
- 5) Click OK Twice
Workaround #2 by Spork
- 1) Start Internet Explorer
- if it’s IE7, hit the ALT key
- 2) Click on Tools
- 3) Click on Internet Options
- 4) Click on the Advanced Tab
- 5) Click on the Reset button
If you’re running an older version then IE7, maybe click on Restore Defaults button.

G , you can not stop at Program Files.
You need to understand folder structure.
C:\Program Files\AIM6\services\imApp\ver6_#_#_#\content\im
This is the folder you need to be even though the post says:
“Click on your C:\ Drive and then Click Program Files, and follow the path as it is displayed above.”
You seem to be ignoring the part that says follow the path. Template.html is not in program files, its inside the last folder called “im.”
C:\Program Files\AIM6\services\imApp\ver6_#_#_#\content\im
To avoid future confusion. I’m going to remove that part and assume you know how to navigate folders.
WBmike,
