Hi Magie,
Actually I deal with this several times a day, and you'll need to re-read my instructions.
All currently logged in Windows XP accounts are listed in the Users Control Panel, we're
talking about the account that's logged into the computer *not* Passport (thats in the second
part).
If you still can't figure it out, assuming he has administrator access to the machine, he can
download and run the following .reg file:
http://messenger.jonathankay.com/downloads/disablenetcreds.reg
The computer will need to be rebooted to see the change.
