Msn 7 Help!

When I go online my daughters MSN account is automatically signed in. My daughters contacts list keep popping up with messages thinking that she is here but it is me just being online! How can I stop this so that anyone who wants to go onto MSN has to log in via Hotmail first and not automatically?
Thanks

Treat me kindly I`m just Confused :confused::D

    Change the preferences so it does not automatically sign anyone in.

    Hi,
    Either sign out of it, or change your status to appear offline, that way you will appear not there without having to close it or sign out for her, so it saves time. HTH,
    Rob.

    Change the preferences so it does not automatically sign anyone in.

    You can also:

    go to Control Panel then User Accounts

    then Change an Account

    Click on the the XP account you want to change (if there's more than one)

    then Change my .NET passport

    click on Use a different Passport

    Go through the wizard with the details but this time make sure
    Associate my passport with this account is not ticked

    Just realized there's another easier way:

    • Go to Control Panel then User Accounts
    • then Change an Account
    • Click on the the XP account you want to change (if there's more than one)
    • Under Releated Tasks at the side Manage my Network Passwords then Remove
