My friend came over and signed into Windows Messenger on my computer. His
name is now stuck in the drop down list of sign in accounts and I can't
delete it. Can anyone tell me how to delete his name?

Greetings Simon,

You can remove Passports in the sign in list by clicking 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.
