Hotmaill accounts in pull-down login window.
Ok, after posting I read John Kay's comments to Doober
about turning off the Passport login from the Control Panel. HOWEVER, when I try to do that I get the following message: '_oPassportMgr" is null or not an object. I definately messed up my registry (serves me right), so don't know if I am up a creek or not. Thanks again, Claude -----Original Message----- I tried using MSN Messenger on two of my hotmail accounts. I didn't care for it, so I deleted it. Now whenever I log into any password enabled website, those hotmail accounts show up in the pulldown menu. Every TRACE of messenger is out of my hard drive and registry and I still cannot get rid of it. I am using XP Pro with 4 users, but it only happens in my account (Which is the admin). Any help would be a godsend, trying to talk to Dell is like banging one's head against a brick wall. Thanks in advance for any help, Claude . |

Hotmaill accounts in pull-down login window.
Greetings Claude,
Very odd -- never seen this error before. Try this instead, click Start, then Run, then type the following into the Open field: control userpasswords2 and click OK. Then click the Advanced Tab, click Manage Passwords, and you can remove them there (assuming you don't get the error using this method). ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Messenger/MSN Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com "Mr.Claude" wrote in message ...

Jonathan,
Thank you for the timely reponse! I followed your instructions and didn't get an error message. However, that box in mangage passwords was blank; no trace of the hotmail accounts. Might there be another way? Claude -----Original Message----- Greetings Claude, Very odd -- never seen this error before.

Hi Claude,
Yeah, I was afraid you might get that result. I'll need to do some more investigation on this, and unfortunately it's a holiday weekend here, so I don't have access to my normal resources to try and duplicate this. For now, click Start, then Run, type: sfc /scannow and click OK. This will do a scan for all the system files and replace any "bad" ones, hopefully it may solve the problem. You may need to reboot after doing this. Also, which language version of Windows XP are you using (ex. English, Dutch, etc. ?) and is it XP Home or XP Pro? ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Messenger/MSN Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com "Mr. Claude" wrote in message ...

Jonathan,
I am running XP Pro, english version. Thanks so much for your assistance - enjoy your weekend! Mr. C -----Original Message----- Hi Claude, Yeah, I was afraid you might get that result.
