On AIM messenger, can you make yourself invisible before you sign in?

I'm talking about the AIM messenger that you download, not AOL (I dont have an AOL account but I use AIM).

I know you can click the little eye icon after you sign on and it makes you invisible, but can you somehow sign ON as invisible?

Probably. Just leave yourself as invisible when you sign off.

Who are you hiding from?
