XP and MSN Messenger

When using MSN Messenger on XP Home, you click on the "sign in" button. This brings up a box for email address and password. Unlike earlier versions of Windows, the email address field has a drop-down box for selecting from a range of previously used email addresses.

My question is where are these email addresses stored in XP. Is there any way of clearing out that file so that the drop-down list is empty?

Have done a string search of the registry using the email address but nothing shows up anywhere. Not sure if its stored in some specific messenger file somewhere???
