1) Press Start

3) Write: control userpasswords2
4) the press OK.
5) Go to Advanced option
6) Press Manage passwords
7) Remove the emails from there.

Sorry, but how would that deactivate automatic signin?

Can't you just go to MSN Messenger options, general, uncheck automatic signin when connected to the Internet.

Sorry, if I miunderstood.

I meant if your msn keeps on signing in.

About that option, if you upgrade MSN or reinstall it will remain the problem. I think (at least for me) to fix the 'source', witch will be the uper/pass saved in the PC.

This is totally wrong!

As monster.rat has said to deactivate automatic sign in you need to go to your MSN Messenger options:
Tools > Options > General > Allow Automatic sign in when connected to the internet

that isn't the "source" at all...

YottabyteWIzard, what you suggested is how to remove all the Windows credentials. Also note that Windows credentials aren't limited to the emails you used to sign in into MSN Messenger!!!. If you delete everything there, you also could end up deleting important non messenger related associations with emails.

And the proper and detailed way (and the way which works for ALL Windows languages) to remove certain Windows Credentials can be found here: CookieRevised's reply to: "deleting accounts doesn't work"

Also, to delete the automatical associating with the main sign in password you only need to delete the ".NET Passport" credential.
