So I had a few people use my computer and they of course had to log into MSN and not their e-mail addresses are under my MSN login tab. I was wondering how you can delete these names from the login drop down menu. On XP you can go to accounts and delete them but I can't seem to find this information on my MBP. I googled it and still haven't found the answer.

Does anyone know how to delete email addresses from the drop down menu in MSN?

Here's how you delete the name from the drop-down:

Locate and open this file:
~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/com.microsoft.Messenger.plist
where ~ represents your Home folder

It should be opened in Property List Editor.

Expand "Root"
Scroll down and find "MSNSignInMRU01," "MSNSignInMRU02," etc.
Next to each is an email address.
Select the row that you want to delete.
Click "Delete."
File > Save

And there you go, it's gone from the list.


But note that this only removes the name; it doesn't delete any data of that account, such as History, if that person enabled it (which I doubt since it's your computer).
