please help, (Messenger problems)

[Advice Required]

I have a couple 0f problems here I would love to solve.

1.I deleted a Passport from "Manage My Network passwords"
in the control panel area, yet every time I log on to
Messenger, It uses the passport I deleted. How do I stop
this?

2.Every time I connect to the internet, Messenger
automatically starts up. Is this meant to happen?

Greetings,

1. Go back into the "Manage My Network Passwords" and remove the Passport.Net\* (Passport)
entry.

2. If you're using MSN Explorer/8, yes, this is supposed to happen. Otherwise, it might be
started by Outlook Express (which can stop if you like). If it's just loaded but not signed
in, it will try to login automatically when it detects an Internet connection available
(although if you do the above in answer #1 above, it won't, since the default Passport will
be removed).
