Our brazilian exchange student set up a net.passport
account on my PC. Now she's back in Brazil, but my windows
messenger is in portugese. How do I delete her
net.passport account from my PC and restore messenger to
english?

Thanks in advance!

Greetings Rich,

To remove her Passport, 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, you can remove accounts by clicking the passport you wish to delete [denoted by
(Passport)], and then click the 'Remove' button.

As well, if they saved their Passport/password, also remove the Passport.net\* (Passport)
entry in that window as well.

For more detailed instructions and screenshots on this procedure, see here:

Then to restore Messenger to English, simply install the latest English version:
