Hi,
Please can you help me before I kill my DD. Yesterday while at her uncles house, some 70 miles away, she used Windows messenger to log onto her MSN Account. Her uncle ( PC illiterate ) rang to day as everytime he tries to Outlook Express V6 it opens Windows Messenger and logs my Daughter in and also populates all her contacts in his contacts address book. I have tried to diable Windows Messenger in the Services in conrtol panel , but it says it is already disabled. In Outlook Express v6 in tools log into windows messenger is also unticked.
Please can someone help with trying to get our relations computer rid of logging in as my daughter everytime he uses it.
Thanks
