General

To configure "Away" mode, enable/disable ICQ's sound, configure auto-start, or change the path into which transferred files are saved, go to "Menu" — "Settings" and select the "General" tab.



Mode "Away"

You can customize how ICQ behaves based on whether or not you are at your computer. To do so, check the action that you want. If you uncheck everything, then your ICQ status will always be online and will only change if you change it yourself.

Auto startup

If you check this setting, ICQ will start automatically as soon as your turn on your computer.

Sounds

You can enable and disable sounds in ICQ using this checkbox.

File transfer

You can change the path where files transferred through ICQ are saved. To do this, enter the new path in the "Save received files to folder" field or click  and select the desired folder.

View

Choose how you would prefer to have ICQ windows displayed — in a single window or in separate windows — by checking the appropriate option.
