How to Change the Buddy Icon to Another Image in AIM

AOL Instant Messenger (commonly referred to as "AIM" for short) allows you to select an image known as a "buddy icon." This image appears on the buddy list of anybody who adds your screen name as a "buddy," as well as in any instant message window you have open. You can change your existing buddy icon to another image in AIM by adjusting the basic configuration of the program itself.
