How to set on Digsby Gtalk status away or idle

I'm using Digsby for all IM, mail and social network accounts, and my biggest problem is when I go Away from computer that my gtalk is still online. If you try to set Away your Digsby other gtalk users will see you as busy (red dot in gtalk client - not yellow dot). If I go out of my home and forget to disconnect gtalk on digsby, I'll stay online and I'll receive tons of messages. I turn off gtalk account on Digsby, and setup them (like before) on Miranda.
Now I find solution, and I set back my gtalk account to digsby.
Yes, you can set idle for gtalk account if you using Digsby.
Just you need to setup your gtalk account not like gtalk, but like Jabber account, like on image below:

Everything what you need is to enter for your username gtalkname@gmail.com, and for server talk.google.com and now when you set Away from Digsby menu you will be idle for other gtalk users.

Automatically start Winamp when Windows starts

If you want to start Winamp automatically when your computer (with Windows XP/Vista) starts, only thing you need to do is to put next code in your registry in run statement:

"%ProgramFiles%\Winamp\winamp.exe" "%AppData%\Winamp\Winamp.m3u"


If your Winamp isn't set for multiuser usage and previous code doesn't work try to change it to:

"%ProgramFiles%\Winamp\winamp.exe" Winamp.m3u


This code will start Winamp and set them to play last played playlist. In first code last played playlist is in your Application Data folder (if Winamp is instaled in multiuser mode). In Second winamp.m3u file is located in Winamp installed folder.

If your Winamp isn't installed in your Program Files folder, you need to change first part of command: "%ProgramFiles%\Winamp\winamp.exe" to full path to your winamp folder.
