I mean...
Have you enabled "Remember my password on this computer" ?
Just wondering...
I havent...

yea i have, but strangely enough when i turn my computer on i usually stop messenger from signing in, and then sign in after i have read my emails

I just leave it on so that when i do want to sign in i can just click the “Sign In” button

the beauty of not having a hotmail account and just using an aol name. I do it so when i press
Start > All Programs > MSN Messenger 6.2
it automatically loads up

i do. its my own computer, so theres no reason n ot to

Yeah I set automatic sign-on...I just leave MSN running even when I'm not at the comp sometimes...

yes

I have enabled the "Remember my password for one of my messenger accounts however the options "load messenger when windows starts" and "sign in automaticaly when opening messenger" are disabled.

Is there a difrence beetwen "Automatic Sing In" and "Remember my password on this computer?"

If you enable the first (that is in Tools > options) messenger will sign in when it is launched. If you enable the 2nd one (that is in the screen where you write your mail and password) messenger will remember your password, and will let you click the sign in button to sign in automaticaly but don't sign in just after being launched.

if someone can tell me how to do that, that would be nice. I don't know how this could be done

I have four checkboxes on the General tab (first section):

• The first one is for loading Messenger when starting Windows (checked)
• The second one is for showing main window when starting Windows (not checked)
• The third one is for connecting automatically when connected to the Internet (checked)
• The fourth is for showing MSN Today (not checked)

So, unless you mean you have a connection when starting Windows, I do not see how to do that

Just so you all know, it's a big security risk (in respect to your hotmail account) as anyone who has access to your machine can get your password (provided they can break the encryption, and it has been done before).
