it signs me in when i don't want it to
I'm using Windows XP at work on a shared computer. I
signed in to Messenger once a long time ago, and now it signs me in automatically every time the computer gets turned on. It can get embarassing if someone sends me a naughty message, but someone else is using the computer! I tried unistalling it in the Windows control panel and in MSN.ca, but all that did was get rid of the icons. It's still signing me in every morning. I'd still like to use Messenger now and then, but I'd like to be able to have control over when I sign in. Please help! Andrea |

Greetings Andrea,
To turn off the automatic login, so it can't login by itself, 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, click the Passport.Net\* (Passport) entry and click 'Remove'. ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Windows MVP, Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com "Andrea" wrote in message ...
