| [slm] we just got a new (used) pc. The person who had it before has msn messenger and it keeps having people say hi to me who think I am him. I tried to sign out many times from the little green person icon but it doesn't work, and I don't have another account to go in it which is the only other option. when i open explorer and my email usually it seems to sign me in autmotically. How do I get rid of it? The guy sometimes signs in and a little box says i am being signed out coz it is being used somewhere else. I feel bad for him but I don't know how to do it. if anyone knows tell me jazakum Allah khayr. |

| Also how do you get rid of the headings titles etc he stored in the pc. When i go to type the subject if i put only one letter a window pulls down with lots of stuff he had written past. I feel like I am invading his privacy. I want to get rid of this too. |

[/quote] - For this, click 'Start' then go to 'Settings' then 'Control Panel'. - Then click on 'Internet Options' - There should be the option to 'Clear History' which will clear all the previous websites he may have visited and the ones that appear when you type in the address box at the top. I hope that helps :) wasalam |

I'm not sure now what you can do as I don't get these options when i click on the green icon. The options should relate to MSN and there should be an option to allow you to see who's online when it signs in. [quote]Which one please? Also, i did already cleared history.

I'm not really good with computers so perhaps someone with more experience would know ??? Let us know how u get on [wlm] |

| [slm] For XP only: start -> control panel Double click the "User Accounts" icon Click your account icon On the next screen select "Change my .NET passport" A button with "Use a different passport" should be visible, click it. This should start a 'wizard'. Follow directions. |
