Control Panel - Add and remove programs - Add or remove windows components - Windows Messenger (Unclick)

As easy as.

WM Main window > Tools > Options > Settings > Uncheck "Start Windows Messenger when Windows starts".

Try to open Windows Messenger, and then sing out... After, maybe, there is a "Forget me" opition...
You can change the opitions of the Windows Messenger to not conect on sing in...

just enter a non existing email address like:
asjdha@alsjdh.omg
and make up a password...
and set that account to login automatically...
not the most beautiful solution but it works...

6. Click OK to confirm that you want to remove this user.

That should do I guess.

Greetings,

There is actually a correct way of doing this.  Just click the Start Button, then click the Control Panel. Then, click User Accounts in the Control Panel. Select the Windows account name in question, and then on the left side of the screen, under Related Tasks, click 'Manage my Network Passwords'.  In the window that
opens, click the Passport.Net\* (Passport) entry and click 'Remove'. 

Then the saved password will be gone, and it won't automatically sign in.
