Hi, my name is Tim.
When ever i log on ot the net, it signs in to windows

they dont know that.
Also, i want to uninstall windows messenger cause we're
getting a new computer and i'll insatll
windows messenger 6.0 to it instead of having 4.7. I
cant seem to find the uninstall place for it and i don't
want it. How do i uninstall it?
Please help

Greetings Tim,

To stop the automatic login, 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'.

As for MSN Messenger 6 and Windows Messenger 4.7, you can remove Windows Messenger 4.7, but
if you do, you will be preventing Remote Assistance, Whiteboard, Application Sharing and any
other applications that utilize Messenger from working (or loading without problems). You
can just disable Windows Messenger 4.7, by opening it up, click Tools, Options, Preferences
tab and unchecking 'Run this program when Windows starts'. This won't stop it from being
loaded by some other application though. As well, you can disable it further by going to
Start, Control Panel, Add or Remove Programs, Add/Remove Windows Components on the left,
uncheck Windows Messenger in the components list and click Next >. Note: this is only
available if you've installed Windows XP Service Pack 1 -- if you haven't, visit
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com. This won't remove Windows Messenger, but it will let it
stay out of your way, and allow MSN Messenger 5 to work properly.

Messenger.
