Windows accounts and .NET passports

rmg1

Hi all

I let my nephew use my computer (Windows XP Home) and I've since found that he has attached his .NET passport to my ID on the computer.

Any ideas how I can remove it, or is it OK to leave on?

Think the solution is:

Click Start > Control Panel > User Accounts.

Select the user account from which you want to remove the passport.

Select manage my network passwords (top of window).

Select and delete *only* the entry starting Passport.Net\passportname_that_you_want_to_remove.

Reboot and the .Net passport should no longer be associated with that account.

Although I'm sure it won't make much diffrence if you leave it on.

Why not set up your own? They are very useful!

Thanks folks - removed his and added my own.
Not sure what I'll use it for, but it's there if I need it.

It is used for things like MSN messenger, hotmail and Windows Live Spaces.
