Someone set up a Windows messenger account on my PC with his login name as default. I can't get rid of it and I cannot get rid of his dropdown login either, despite following your instructions to the letter. The Add/Remove Windows components button just hasn't worked. In any case, I don't necessarily want to get rid of Messenger; I just want to get rid of his account everytime I open Messenger up. How do I do that? Any ideas.

Even though the other methods listed here WILL work, it's more effort than what is necessary. WHAT is necessary is exactly what Leo listed at first. Go to ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS, ADD/REMOVE WINDOWS COMPONENTS, and clear the check box beside Windows Messenger. Click OK, and after it runs it's little marathon, Messenger is all gone!
