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???

Try
control panel, user accounts then computer administrator
left top of that screen (related tasks box )
click on manage my network passwords
should get another window with your listed network addressess select the ones you dont want one at a time and remove

Many thanks - just what I was after!
