Hi there, I've just downloaded MSN messenger version 6.2.0137. It works
fine, though the thing that is annoying me is that when anyone opens up me
Messenger all they have to do is click on "sign in" and it automatically
signs into my account. How can I disable that? I have been to the "tools"
menu, "general" tab and unticked the "allow automatic sign in when connected
to the net" however still when I start up my messenger all someone has to do
is click sign in and they get into my account. Hope someone can help me on
this matter.
