Signing in without password??

[dsdf@sdf]

When starting up my messenger 6.2 in XP (Dutch version) I'm abled to sign
in, without further questioning about my password. How can I prevent
messenger from doing this?
Please help, Thérèse

FOR WINDOWS XP HOME DO THIS:

http://www.dougknox.com/xp/scripts/xp_messenger_autorun.vbs
Download xp_messenger_autorun.vbs and save this file to
your hard drive.
Navigate to where you saved it and double click the file.
A confirmation dialog will appear and remind you to log
off/back on or restart your computer.

U CAN STILL USE WINDOWS MESSENGER BUT U'LL JUST HAVE TO
LOAD IN MANUALLY.



Groeten, van een geheel herstelde René

Hi,

This will not help with this issue -- it will still automatically login.

Greetings Thérèse,

Unfortunately the Dutch version of Windows XP has a small bug which prevents you from easily
removing this the normal way. However, you can still remove this.

To do so, click Start, then Run, type:
%appdata%\microsoft\Credentials
and then click OK.
Then in the folder that appears you'll see another folder with a very long name, right click
this folder, choose Delete, then confirm the operation. You'll then need to reboot to see
the change.
