Messenger password ?????

[Andrew Warren]

Hi all. I feel like Iam going crazy because I can't work
out how to get MSN Messenger 6.2 to ask for a password
before signing in. It just signs in automatically when I
click the sign in button. I feel that I am missing
something that is right under my nose !!! I am running
XP Pro.

Greetings Andy,

To get the behavior you want, click the Start Button, then click the Control Panel. Then,
click User Accounts in the Control Panel. Select the Windows XP account name you're currently
logged under, 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'.
