deleting unwanted sign in names

[holmesenterprise]

How do I delete unwanted email addresses from the drop
down menu in the Windows Messenger sign in screen?

Greetings,

You can remove Passports in the sign in list by clicking 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, you can remove accounts by clicking the passport you
wish to delete [denoted by (Passport)], and then click the 'Remove' button.

For more detailed instructions and screenshots on this procedure, see here:

Go to control panel, then User Accounts.
select your account, on the left top side, select 'Manage
my network passwords', delete the one you don't want XP
to remember.

I have a bothering question too here

How can I eliminate the account on the logon screen where
show ' 18 unread mail messages ', then if you click, it
shows several your email accounts with the number of
unread messages.
Any one could help me on this one? Thanks!!!

Hi Jeff,

To turn off this feature, download the TweakUI powertoy:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/downloads/powertoys.asp (see on the right).

After you have TweakUI installed, click Start, All Programs, Powertoys for Windows XP, and
choose TweakUI for Windows XP. In the TweakUI window, on the left, click the '+' next to
Logon, and choose Unread Mail. Uncheck 'Show unread mail on Welcome screen' and click OK.
