I use  shared computer in which there are multiple users on MSN Messenger.
It always has however "Sign in as "my email address" which if anyone clicks
on they are logged in as me. Under Options/General/ I have the following
settings:
Automatically run messenger is checked
Open Messenger is checked
Allow automatic sign in is not checked
Display MSN Today when messenger... is not checked

Greetings RD,

To remove this, click the Start Button, then click the Control Panel.  Then, click User
Accounts in the Control Panel. Select your account name, and then on the left side of the
screen, under Related Tasks, click 'Manage my Network Passwords'.  In the window that opens,
click the Passport.Net\* (Passport) entry and click 'Remove'.

However, since this computer is shared, you may want to stop the addresses from being
collected, and stop the possibility of yourself or someone else saving their password.  If
you'd like this, simply download and run this .reg file:

You'll need to reboot to see the change.

To sign on with a different name, click "To sign on with a different
account, click here."  This can be found under the sign in button where
it says your e-mail address.  To prevent it from automatically signing
you on when you click sign on, do not tell it to save your password.
