how do you delete a .net passport?

[Guest]

How do you remove (not change) a .net passport from a user account?

 

[Carey Frisch [MVP]]

1. Open XP's "Help and Support Center".
2. In the Search box type: PASSPORT , and hit enter.
3. Click on "Store default Passport information".
4. Open the .NET Passport Wizard" and click Next 3 times,
then uncheck "Associate my Passport with my Windows user account.
5. Make sure to logon as the correct user before doing this.

Thanks for your promt response. However, after doing the search for PASSPORT I didn't get a result matching the string "Store default Passport information". I am using XP Home by the way, I don't know if that changes things...

that seems to only delete the user account, not the passport...? i want to keep the user but with no passporta associated with it.....?

How do you figure it deletes the user account, Kemo Sabe?
Start | Run | Type: Control keymgr.dll | OK
If it has (Passport) behind it, that's what you're looking for.
