How To Remove Signin Details Of Msn Passport

 Question:

When I sign onto Messenger in Windows XP, there's a drop-down menu of sign-addresses I can use. Is there a way to keep those addresses from appearing, so I have to type it in each time?

Answer:

Yes there is a way, although you will need to modify/create a key within the system registry. Open the Registry Editor, and navigate to the key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SYSTEM\ CurrentControlSet\ Control\ Lsa

Create a Value called "disabledomaincreds" and set it to "1".

Reboot will finalise the process.

Note: This is generally only usefull if you are setting up a system to be used by many users.

Key Details:

Machine Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SYSTEM\ CurrentControlSet\ Control\ Lsa]
Value Name: disabledomaincreds
Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)
Data Value: "1" = disable : "0" = enable


Heres a faster, safe, alternate way: must be logged in as ADMIN

Goto Start + Control Panel + User Accounts + Choose your account + "Manage my network passwords" at the top left + Then delete whichever msn accounts you don't need
