clear the messenger sign in history

Hello!

I would like to clear the sign in history of messenger
4.7. What I did is:
Press start.
Then Control Panel.
Then User Accounts.
Pick your Account
Then click on Manage my network passwords under the
Related Task Block.
Then hieghlight the email you want to remove.
Then press Remove.
Then press Ok.

But unfortunately, the messenger didn't respond when i
pressed delete. The e-mailadresses are still on the
list... How can I solve this problem?

Greetings,

Are you using the Dutch version of Windows XP? Unfortunately, there is a current bug in the
Dutch version of Windows XP which prevents you from removing passport information from your
account. As such, this won't work, and there is no other way of doing it. As far as I know,
this hasn't been fixed, but you may want to run WindowsUpdate
(http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com on that computer to see if there's an update that will
fix this).

Greetings Colin,

Yes there are certainly is. Simply download and run this .reg file:
http://messenger.jonathankay.com/dow...lenetcreds.reg
After running, you'll need to reboot to see the change and after the reboot, *no* names will
be in the history, and none will be added again.

I am trying to setup a cyber cafe. I want to use MSN
Messnger as part of my suite of applications.

The problem that I have is that wach time a user logs on,
the details of the previous user is still visible on
messenger.

Is there any way of clearing these details, with out any
user intervention, ie. i don't want to have to log on
myself, delete the .net details, then have to log off, as
this is not a viable solution.

Is there anyone out there that can help me.

Thanks in advance
