Help, problems with removing accounts in control panel

Hello

I try to remove some accounts from my MSN Messenger. I did try to do
as told in some replys in this channel. Control panel - users - my
account (its the only one on this winxp pc) - manage netwerk accounts.
I can see the user accounts there, but i cant remove them. Winxp just
doesnt accept my remove command, they still keep on listed in the
list.

What am i doing wrong?

Greetings John,

Are you using the Dutch version of Windows XP? If you are, what you're seeing is a bug
within the Dutch version and as such, the 'Delete' button will do nothing and you will not be
able to remove these. The only thing you can do is completely remove all the Passports and
prevent any from being saved in the future by downloading and running this .reg file:
http://messenger.jonathankay.com/dow...lenetcreds.reg
Then reboot for the changes to take effect.

I indeed have the dutch version of WinXP. Unfortunely i cant remove
those passports because i dont know the passwords ((
I guess i will have to wait untill there is an update for this problem

Thanks anyway for you information

Hi John,

You're very welcome, however if you use my .reg file below, it will essentially "hide" all of
them, there's no need to know the passwords.
