how to stop msn auto log in?

[alison]

hi
can anyone tell me how to stop msn automatically trying to log on whenever i boot my pc.
three people use this pc and its really annoying when it keeps signing in as someone else.
they have marked the 'sign me in automatically' box and now can't find a way to undo it, (it is not showing as ticked anymore)
any suggestions would be welcome
thanks

Go to > start > control panel > user accounts > administrator account > manage network passwords > delete the ones you do not want. I know this works for Messenger. I do not know if it works for MSN.

thaks for your suggestion, but i don't want to delete the other users they would be annoyed if i did that!
i just want to stop my pc automatically signing in another user everytime i switch it on.

Do you mean MSN Messenger? Or the browser?

Here's how to disable the messenger from popping up when you boot.

1. Double click on the little icon in the system tray.
2. When the program comes up, go to Tool/Options
3. Click on the Preferences tab
4. Uncheck the "Run this program when Windows starts"
5.. Click OK

At the next reboot this program will not automatically run.

I thought there were two or three places that you had to turn of that stupid messenger? I know I've turned it off in start up and the program itself. BUT anytime I use it... it resets itself.
