Deleteing Messenger User from list

[Steve]

How do I delete account from selection list. I want to be
able to just type in name and password and not select from
list.
Thanks, Steve

Greetings Steve,

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:

If you want to remove the list entirely, download and run this .reg file:

You'll need to reboot to see the change.
