MSN Messenger 6 - Sign In doesn't ask for my password!!!
When I upgraded from Windows Messenger 5.0 to MSN Messenger 6, I learned
to live with the fact that I now had to Messengers. I had Windows Messenger 5.0 set to ask me for my User ID and Password, which was great. When I installed MSN Messenger 6, I quickly learned that when I click the SIGN IN button, it signs me in without asking for my User ID and Password. I've tolerated it until now. I just installed MSN Messenger on my new laptop, and found that the opening MSN Messenger 6 window looks slightly different on my laptop than on my PC. On my PC, my e-mail address (.net User ID) is above the SIGN IN button, and below that, it says, "To sign in with a different account, click here." On my laptop, neither of these things are present, so when I click on the SIGN IN button, I'm asked for my E-mail address and Password. I can force this to happen on my PC by clicking the "To sign in with a different account, click here." Can anyone tell me how I can keep MSN Messenger 6 on my PC from automatically signing me in? I tried uninstalling and reinstalling to no avail. I do not have the "Allow automatic sign-in", or the "Automatically run Messenger when Windows starts" options turned on. Why is it different on both these PC's? The only major difference I know of is that the PC is running Windows XP PRO and the laptop is running Windows XP Home.

MSN Messenger 6 - Sign In doesn't ask for my password!!!
Greetings,
To stop Messenger from automatically logging you in, 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 "J.R.

MSN Messenger 6 - Sign In doesn't ask for my password!!!
The only problem now is that the MSN Messenger icon in the system
tray pesters me to activate my .net passport for Win XP. I think that's what happened to me last time... I'll just close that bubble when pops up from now on. Thanks again! -- J.R. Allas - - New Lenox, IL - USA ICQ: 65201091 - AOL IM: "R Allas Jr" - MSN Messenger: "J.R. Allas" wrote in message ... That worked perfectly... Thank you very much for the help. Given plenty of time, give or take a couple years, I might have stumbled onto that solution. -- J.R.

MSN Messenger 6 - Sign In doesn't ask for my password!!!
Hi,
The balloon should actually disappear after 6-7 times of running MSN Messenger 6. If it still hasn't, close down MSN Messenger 6 (right-click its icon in the notification area/system tray and click Exit), then download and run this .reg file: http://messenger.jonathankay.com/dow...alloon_msn.reg After this the balloon will no longer be shown (in MSN Messenger) ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Windows MVP, Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com "J.R.
