Need help in setting up Windows messenger properly

[Alexander]

Before when I set up my Windows Messenger on my home
family computer it would not log me in automatically when
I connected to the internet (dial-up), but now it is
signing me in automatically. I would like to set it up so
I actually have to type in my password to access my MSN
messenger acount, not just connect to the internet.

Greetings Alexander,

To set it up this way, 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'. Then restart Messenger
and it will no longer auto login.
