when i signed in Windows Messenger for the first time i
clicked the "sign me in automatically" box. now everytime
i start it, my email appears and when anyone clicks it,
it signs me in without asking my password... how do i
disable this?

Delete the passport account from the stored passwords list. Under Windows
XP, go to Start -> Control Panel -> User Accounts -> [Your account] ->
Manage my network passwords. Select the accounts you wish to remove and
click "Delete".

Hope this helps,

Greetings Alec,

To turn off this wrong automatic login, click the Start Button, then click the Control Panel.
Then, click User Accounts in the Control Panel. Select your account name, and then on the
left side of the screen, under Related Tasks, click 'Manage my Network Passwords'. In the
window that opens, click the Passport.Net\* (Passport) entry and click 'Remove'.
