deleting accounts from msn
over the last year or so, there have been a few people access their msn from my pc. Their accounts remain on my msn sign in drop down (even after deleting and reinstalling msn)

deleting accounts from msn
Greetings CheekyChef,
To remove these names, 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 an account by clicking the passport you wish to delete [denoted by (Passport)], and then click the 'Remove' button. For more detailed instructions and screenshots on this procedure, see he http://messenger.jonathankay.com/problem.aspx?ID=2 ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Messenger/MSN Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com All posts unless otherwise specified are (c) 2004 Jonathan Kay.

deleting accounts from msn
Jonathan,
My problem is similiar, but different ... A friend used my computer and used my windows messenger, but I had never used it before. He has since went back home and I now have an account. The problem is his passport account is default on my messenger. It even logs in on HIS account automatically. This is embarrasing and I want to get his account information off. I did as you instructed Cheeky Chief but my account is the only one listed. I downloaded 6.2 but after installation it still has his information as default. I need to get rid of his account info and make mine the default. Anything you can do to help?

Hi,
Do the same thing as below, except remove the Passport.Net\* (Passport) entry as well. ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Messenger/MSN Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com All posts unless otherwise specified are (c) 2004 Jonathan Kay.
