AOL AIM pop up window

I'm sat in the office talking to my boss and my AIM buddy window pops up with an embarrasing message from the missus (wont go into it here!).

Does anyone know if you can force the instant messenger windows to open minimized instead of right in the middle of the screen??

Cheers.

nope, thats why i use trillian, you can have it minimize the ims to your system tray
