Windows Messenger: Getting Someone Elses Messages
Whenever I start Windows and get online,
I am automatically signed into someone else's messenger account and have their messages popping up. Some time ago, while I was signed into my .Net Passport for my email, someone else used my computer and now I am constantly getting their Windows Messenger messages. Even when I click Exit, it still launches and pops up their messages. How do I stop this from happening and get rid of the icon from appearing all together??? I don't use Windows Messenger myself. Thanks!!!

Windows Messenger: Getting Someone Elses Messages
Greetings Karen,
Firstly, remove their Passports info 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, click the Passport.Net\* (Passport) entry and click 'Remove'. Then, to stop Windows Messenger from starting, simply close it if its open (right-click the Windows Messenger icon and choose Exit), and disable it from loading when you start your computer (open up the main Windows Messenger window, click the Tools menu, then Options, then Preferences, then uncheck 'Run this program when Windows starts' or 'Run Windows Messenger when Windows starts' (depending on version) and click OK. ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Messenger/MSN Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com "Karen" wrote in message ...
