when i log on to pay some of my bills, using a username, the usernames of other accounts and messenger, other usernames pop up from other accounts and other people's names that use the computer. in other words, when i log on to pay a bill for my tv sattellite service, my brothers name for yahoo messenger pops up when i click to put my username in. is there a way i can disable this so other usernames don't pop up. i got a new computer with windows xp pro. if anyone can tell me how to disable this, it would help a lot. and also, if you can tell me how i find out here, how i find replies to this messege, this is the first time i have used a message board, thank a lot

You should make separate user accounts and that way you will only see
your own stuff and vice versa. You make new user accounts with the User
Accounts applet in Control Panel. Look in your Help & Support if you
need more information.

The best way to read newsgroups is not through the lame web interface,
but to use a real newsreader. Outlook Express may not be the best
newsreader, but you already have it on your system. Here's a link to
how to set up OE as a newsreader:

default.asp (note that this url is split to conform to the proper line
length in my newsreader - 72 characters - and you will enter it on one
line in your browser addressbar)
