Disable Messenger's storing of e-mail addresses?

Hi,

Can anyone tell me if there is a way to prevent Messenger from storing the e-mail addresses I use to log into Messenger? These e-mails then show up on the "sign-in" as a list to choose from before giving a password.

I know that you can "remove" e-mail addresses from the list by going into the "Control Panel", "User Accounts", and then "Manage my Network Passwords".

Rather, I want to prevent Messenger from storing this information at all. I want the entire sign-in process, including inputing the e-mail address (i.e., .NET Passport) and password.

Thanks for any and all comments.

I've looked, but came up empty. I don't believe there is a way.

To prevent the storage of email adresses on the log in box, go to: http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

look for a registry modification titled: netpassworddissable

If you download this then apply it, your log in box will clear everytime you log off.

good luck,
