How do i Turn off the feature that Remembers Login Names?

Guest

I have the autocomplete function in IE set to only autocomplete web
addresses, but whenever I log into Windows messenger or other password
applications my "Net Passport" window opens up with a list of possible
usernames. I want to get rid of the list of user names without reformatting
my computer, since I am going to be using my computer at work. Any ideas?

In Windows Messenger/MSN Messenger, go to
Tools/preferences (or options). I believe is the fourth tab
(connections). look for option that says "i am using this
computer at work. Do not remember my logins". Check, Apply,
Ok and you're done.

Use the down arrow to highlight one you want to get rid of and press the
Delete key.
