sometimes i hate microsoft so much!

i am reinstalling winxp on another persons emachine computer and used msn INSTANT MESSAGING while waiting for windows to update and now this strangers machine has nabbed my password and logs into my msn messenger acct automatically.

HOW DO I GET RID OF THIS AND STOP IT FROM HAPPENING AGAIN. I COULD KILL THOSE NOSY F!@#ERS AT MICROSOFT!

i have already removed the msn messenger from windows components but becuz this was a restore cd i dont think i can completely uninstall it , i know i have tried.

i have also tried erasing the passwords folder thru ie 6 internet options

If you go through the user accounts as the administrator and hit the advanced tab, there is an option in there to manage the user passwords. I suggest you delete the passwords stored in there.

i had to return that computer so i just logged in with my computer and changed my password , then logged in with hers again to make sure it didnt work and it didnt but what a PITA.

thanks anyway, i can keep your suggestion in mind if it ever happens again

On MSN messenger you can always disable the "remember password" option.

you can hack the messenger folder in the program files folder/directory, by renaming it to whatever, and it wont bother you anymore
