Sorry, sorry, very sorry, but does anybody know how to get a computer to FORGET your signon info if you mistakenly at some point told it to remember it? I'm trying to get it so that my babysitter can't get into my email unless by knowing the password, but I can't get the bloody password not to show up! NONE of the available help options on MSN will help, none of my computer geek friends either (so far! I hope!)... so I turn, at last and in desperation, to you who may mind. Sorry if you do, but if you know the answer, let me know too, thanks!

Mrzzy, try changing your password at hotmail and there should be a box to NOT tick to save it.

You didn't say what program you're using, but if it's Outlook Express - In OE go to FILE IDENTITIES PROPERTIES and add a password there. Should stop the whole program from opening.

Should be reversible when the sitter goes home too.

Ya... stop using a bloated, useless online email service like hotmail!

Also, I suspect your pass is likely buried in a cookie somewhere... Clearing your cookes file might help...
