I've just installed two new Computers with XP on, and then set up my internet conenction. Then i got messenger up and running, only problem now is it keeps signing me in whenever i start windows, and when i double click messenger it has my account up straight away and no password is needed, however nearly 30 ppl use the same computer (cyber cafe), how can i stop it signign me in withotu a password!!!

Try the following:

1. Tools, Options, Privacy Tab:
select "This is a shared computer".

2. Accounts Tab:
Clear out the account and password info.

3. sign off, then sign back in again.

Don't save the logon information.

see if this will meet your needs.

Unfortunatly not, in the account tab there is no information there. All there is is an option selected to sign in with this account first (net.passport) but no account details or passwords to delete.

Is your ISP MSN?

If it is, it's picking up the .NET login from the account connection. Setup a different account (sub-account) that logs in as "CyberCafe".
