Prevent Msn Messenger From Storing Accounts Info?

[Stuntgp2000]

Hi everybody.

I've been wondering sometime now about a way of preventing MSN Messenger or Windows Messenger from storing account infos. I hate to see that long list of names when you want to sing in.

Is there any registry key or something to do to prevent MSN Messenger from doing that ?

Thanks in advance.

here is a GPO solution (Thanks Monkeys4me)

1) Start -> Run -> gpedit.msc

2) Navigate to Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options

3) Double-click on Network access: Do not allow storage of credentials or .NET Passports for network authentication

4) Click Enabled & then OK

and here is mine (a registry key)

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa]

"disabledomaincreds"=dword:00000001
