Greetings Daniel,

You can remove Passports in the sign in list by clicking the Start Button, then click the
Control Panel. Then, click User Accounts in the Control Panel. Select your account name, and
then on the left side of the screen, under Related Tasks, click 'Manage my Network
Passwords'. In the window that opens, you can remove accounts by clicking the passport you
wish to delete [denoted by (Passport)], and then click the 'Remove' button.

For more detailed instructions and screenshots on this procedure, see here:

Hi Jonathan,
I think that his friends did not create a new account.
My guess is that they simply used Daniel's account to create new users.
And right now Daniel wants to get rid of these accounts.

Messenger cannot do that, a very severe shortcoming.
I think that you have to agree with that and that you should pass on this
info again and again to MS until their slow minds get the message.

Hi,

Well he stated that it was in a drop-down list -- Messenger has no drop-down list, besides
the actual Passport sign in window, so I still think that's what he's referring to.

Assuming you're referring to when people add contacts to your list and you can't remove them
from your Allow/Blocked list in the Tools, Options, Privacy tab, this design flaw (if you
want to call it that, it's actually by design), is known by Microsoft.
