I just set up my account for msn, but now it has me as the main user on a
shared computer and all it takes to sign in is a click of a button and your
in. It doesn't ask for my password or anything. I tried going to options and
changing it, but it didn't work. I would like to know how to fix this. Thanx

Aaron,

Open Internet Explorer

Click the TOOLS Menu & choose OPTIONS

Switch to the CONTENT tab

Click the AUTOCOMPLETE button

Click the Clear Form's & Clear Password's button's.

That will be if you are talking about a passport in a webpage. You can also
delete all the cookies.

If you are talking about MSN Messenger then you can delete your e-mail from
the registry if you have the permissions to do so.

Click START

Click RUN & type 'regedit' (without quotes) & press ENTER

Navigate to 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MSNMessenger' &
double-click the registry key in the right pane called '.User.NET Messenger
Service'

Delete your e-mail address & click OK

Close the registry editor

The password is stored is a place called 'Protected Storage' If you download
this:

http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/pspv.zip

and run it, you should be able to delete the autocomplete history &
protected storage information. Be warned about 2 things:

1) This utility will reveal Outlook Express & other passwords too

2) Some spyware/virus scanners pick this program's registry entry as a
potential threat, but it is literally a single registry key. I trust this
program fully though.

I hope this info has helped

Sorry, I fixed the problem. In messenger you don't go to tools you click on
your message status and and at the bottom is peronal settings. Click on the
general tab to your right and under the 'sign-in Accounts and Passwords'
click on the 'Change' button. Remove everything in the white box.
