View Full Version : MSN and Windows Messenger Question


John Latter
December 6th 03, 12:04 PM
I currently have two identies on both MSN and Windows Messenger - is
it possible to have "Account A" on MSN and "Account B" on Windows
Messenger?

If so, could you tell me how to do it? - I'm concerned that if I start
deleting accounts I might not be able to get then back (er, I'm not
very good at computers!).

I think its possible:

Running Both Windows Messenger and MSN Messenger 5.0 in Windows XP

Thankyou Ramesh - it looks as though uninstalling MSN and then
re-installing it with only one account should do it!

(*fingers crossed*)

Unfortunately that didn't work - as soon as I downloaded/installed MSN
Messenger it 'found' my two existing identies from somewhere and I was
back where I started. Anyone got any ideas please?

John,

The .net passport/messenger accounts are stored in a common location. So,
both in MSN messenger and Windows Messenger drop-downs will list two logins
(common location). But you will be able to sign on to both (as different
users).

Hi Ramesh,

I've settled for Outlook Express signing on automatically on one
account and then signing on manually using the other - thankyou for
your help!
