I would like messenger to force the user to enter a password before signing
in. Instead what it does, is it automatically signs in as soon as you click
sign in without asking for a password. How do I force it to ask for a
password?

Thanks in advance
 
You can't force it, as the user will always have the option of rechecking the "log me in automatically" box. However, if you have set this and want to undo it, exit Windows Messenger and then click Start, Run and enter REGEDIT Go to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MessengerService

Look in the right pane for MSNState. This value should read 01 00 00 00. Edit it to read 00 00 00 00. Then restart Windows Messenger. It will now show you the "Click here to sign in" message.
 
I would just like anyone that may be using my computer to NOT be able to sign
in on my msn messenger. Right now, the way it works, anyone sitting at my
computer can just click msn messenger, and then click sign in, and then they
are in without entering the password. I can't seem to force msn messenger to
ask for a username and password every time you log into it. I do not have
the save password checked.

Yes, we heard you the first time and Doug replied. It is very rude to reply
to someone by reposting the question. Doug's suggestion is the only way - if
you don't like it, tough.
 
It's equally rude to assume that I understood his answer. I wasn't sure he
understood my question. Your response on the other hand was completely
worthless. Please don't respond unless you have something of content to add
to the subject. I have gotten much out of dougs web site, and have found it
to be an invaluable resource.

Not to worry Mark. Miss P is just being her normal useful self. If her
response was helpful, that would be atypical.

I did. If you didn't understand you should have said so, not just reposted
your original question. My remarks still stand - or do you want "arrogant
tosser" added to that as well...?

It was helpful, but you wouldn't recognise help if it painted itself purple
and had "I am help" tattooed on its forehead.
 
Actually, Mark, I understood the question, but did not give a fully accurate answer. To clear your password, so that it will have to entered manually, click Start, Run and enter CONTROL USERPASSWORDS2. On the Advanced tab, click Manage Passwords. Here you can delete the stored passport credentials for MSN.
 
Miss P,
Please refrain from commenting on any questions that I have. You are simply
wasting all of our time though somehow I think your comments are helpful,
insightful, intellectual, or maybe even humourous. They are none of the
above. They are simply a waste of my time.
