Hi,

Not sure where to put this question.

I have a small problem. On one computer when I login to MSN I get logged on automatically, that is without asking for a password. When I log out and after that right click on the icon in the systemtray I get two options: "login" and "login as..."

On my second machine when I login I always have to give my password. I only get one option in the systray there which is "login as..."

I would like to have both computers log in in the secure way. I already looked at the "log my in automatically" checkbox, but that is NOT checked.

I work with messenger 4.7

Thanks.

Martien

4.7 is out of date? There are alot more versions out there...

To be honest MSN is annoying in my eyes, i use it, but its really annoying!

Try reinstalling? - Are the 2 versions the same?

If you want, in the MSN options, you can choose not to load MSN when windows starts, that way it would stop you auto logging in, but i guess it doesnt solve the overall issue...

I allready tried reinstalling, but that did not fix the problem. The OS is XP. That could be the reason for working with an older version.
I think I'll compare the registry settings for those two machines on messenger.

 

Tinus Under tools/options/preferences do you have the runs messenger when windows start?

 

yes, but is also the case on the other computer.

But I found the culprit. It was in control panel, user accounts. You can connect a live account to your logon account there. I removed the connection and bingo.
