I have in error saved a password for Windows Messanger. I hve deleted and restored MSN in Windows but when I reinstall it and reboot my PC in automatically logs me on to messanger as I am on broadband. Is there anyway you can delete saved passwords in Windows. Thank you
 
Right click Internet Explorer and select Properties from the menu. Click on the Content tab and press the Auto Complete button. Press the Clear Passwords button. Hope this helps.
 
Sorry this does not sort the problem out. I want to delete the remember password for added security so I have to put my password in every time
