When I go to sign into msn, in the drop-down menu is my email address. How do I get rid of it?

[schnapps]

Ahhh, this is driving me mad! I know it is really simple but I just can't do it. My email address is there permanently. I've removed cookies, internet files, I've turned off the thing that auto-fills passwords and things, but it's still there. I'm borrowing a friends pc and if she sees my email address she'll work out who I am on MN! Which I really don't want because she's really nosy and I've posted some very personal things under a different name to try to keep them personal!

Please help

you need to unclick remember me

Nope, it's not that. The box is clear.

How about if you highlight it then delete?

I've tried that, but every time I go back to it, it is there again! It's blooming possesed I tell ya!

Not sure which version you are using, but I am using Windows Live Messenger and there is an option to select 'forget me' that deletes your details.

It is windows live messenger. when I go to sign in the box that appears says:

sign in with your .NET Passport

That doesn't appear when I'm on my own computer. Think it could be to do with that. I can't see a forget me option.

When you sign out, leave your details there and the 'forget me' option is under 'remember me' in brackets.

Nope, when I click on sign out, it automatically signs me out and then a box appears giving me the option of signing in.

I know what you mean though, that's how it is on my computer, but this all looks different. It is still windows live messanger though, wondering if it's a slightly different version.

How abuot deleting it from the computer and the reinstalling Messenger?

Yes, think I will have to resort to doing that! Thanks for your help kid

Oh bum! I don't seem to be able to uninstall it. It's not on my add/remove list in control panel, nor is it an option when I right-click on the icon. Any suggestions?

Finally managed to get my email address from the drop-down list - YAY!

I put 'remove .NET passport' into google and loads of pages came up with guidlines for specifically removing your email address from the drop-down list, so it's obviously a common problem. It was, of course, very easy, just not very obvious how to do it!
