Default Getting rid of your account on the main window


Hi...

I have windows XP the latest version, my knowledge of
programs and such is very limited. So when I click on
the main MSN Messenger logo on the bottom the sign in
screen shows up and it has my e-mail address on it as the
main account. I share this computer with all of my
siblings and I don't want that to show up. Is there
anyway that I can get it back to just the main Sign In
window?

Does that make any sense? Sorry...

thanks for your help

Greetings,
To fix this, 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'.
