automatic login on public computers

[Guest]

Is there any way to disable automatic logins in messenger on public computers?
I have disabled the options to "run the program when windows starts" and
"allow this program to run in the background".
Can the saved credentials be diabled permanently?

When a new user logs onto the computer and opens messenger, it automatically
signs in the last person who was on.

Greetings Barbara,

Sure is. Just download and run this .reg file on the PC in question:
http://messenger.jonathankay.com/downloads/disablenetcreds.reg

It will need to be rebooted to see the change.

Note that this will only work in Windows Messenger, not MSN Messenger or Windows Live
Messenger.
