I have just upgraded from ME to XP Pro with SP2 added.

Since then, I have noticed that on certain drop down lists a whole list of user names appears[for example on MSN Messenger 6.2 - but on other progs too where user names are used] before entering p/w and logging on.

This list is now excessively long owing to the many users of our home pc...including many of my daughters' friends - all of whom seem to use msn while visiting!!

Most of these names are redundant - how do I get rid of them?? I have tried to delete them...but no luck!!

Click the Start Button, then click the Control
Panel. Then, click User Accounts in the Control Panel. Select your account
name, and then on the left side of the screen, under Related Tasks, click
'Manage my Network Passwords'. In the window that opens, click the
Passport.Net\* (Passport) entry and click 'Remove'.

jephree...may thanks for your prompt response.- brilliant!! It seems so easy now...!

glad to help

especially when it works
