Log in once with both checkboxes disabled.
This should erase your email and password from the list.

But I want to disable these settings, for other users on my computer, can you help me with this. For example i want to login into messenger, i want to disable these settings for other user, so that he cant save his email account.

Thanks

I think this is what you want

Go to your messenger folder (C:\Program Files\Windows Live\Messenger) and rename msgsres.dll such as msgsres (backup).dll then download the file from rapidshare to the Messenger folder. Then run messenger. I hope it helps.

Please be very aware that patching Messenger like that is risky:
The modified file is VERSION dependant and LANGUAGE dependant.

It will only work on a very specific version and language of Messenger.

Moreover, it still does not provide a solid way to prevent people from 'ticking' those checkboxes. It will always be possible to change those things using the registry for example.

Also, remember that settings are stored per-user. So even if the email addresses of those other people are not stored, their settings still are. Thus modifying Messenger like that will not 'keep your computer clean' either.

A far better method would be to write a small application which removes the settings, including the stored account emails, of everybody else except yours AFTER Messenger is closed.

----------------------------------------

ahmetgns, you better make a skin instead of modifying the Messenger resources like that.

Or (if you don't want to depend on Plus!) program a patch which hides (do NOT remove elements) the user's msgres.dll file.
