Unable to remove MSN Passport account

When I try to remove an obsolete MSN Passport account in the "Manage my
network passwords | Stored Username & Passwords" window, it cannot be deleted
when I click the remove button. I am administrator, machine is stand-alone.
Any solutions?
 
Greetings Louis,

Are you using the Dutch version of Windows XP? If so, the Dutch version has a bug which
prevents this from working.

Hello Jonathan,

You must be kidding ....
Yes, I have the Dutch version. I'll check with MS in Holland

Tx for replying anyway - Louis
 
Hi Louis,

I'm not kidding, and it's been a problem since it was released. It's even fixable on your
own if you don't mind hex editing and getting around XP's DLL security.

Hello Jonathan,

I know my way around a bit in XP.
I have a hex editor. How should I proceed?

Thanks - Louis
