sign in confidentiality
Whenever I open Windows Messenger it automatically signs me straight in
without asking for my password. even though I have ticked the relevant box under "confidentiality" (always ask for my password). Other members of my family all use this same computer which means that when they open Windows Messenger my account comes up (or the last account that was in use) and they have to then sign in under their account. This means I have no confidentiality. This happens even after I close my Windows session, come off the Internet (I'm on dial-up) and go back on the Internet. Help please? (in simple terms - I am a newcomer to messenging!) |

sign in confidentiality
Greetings,
To remove your saved Passport information from Windows Messenger, just click the Start Button, then click the Control Panel. Then, click User Accounts in the Control Panel. Select the Windows account name in question, 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'. -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Messenger/MSN Messenger/Windows Live Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com All posts unless otherwise specified are (c) 2006 Jonathan Kay.
