Where would the log-in data (names) be stored for MSN Messenger?

I have removed all MSN Messenger related values and keys I could find in the registry, yet, I was unable to clear the list.

It can not be done through conventional methods either. It will not allow me to.

Uninstalling and reinstalling does not yield a positive effect.

At my wits end here!

The only time I ever managed to clear the list, was when my computer had crashed and it removed most of my personally stored information such as E-mail client and browser settings.

RaptorRaptor .......Have a look in Windows messenger as well , I have a idea that possibly the settings end up in both there and MSN messenger as well ....( I'm not sure about that though)

dl65 The Messenger service is disabled and the application uninstalled. It should normally be located under C:\Program Files, correct?Raptor ....... Yes ....as a check click START / All programs and see if it shows up in the list .


dl65 It is not present. I made certain of that quite a while AGO.

Other suggestions?How about uninstalling, then DELETING everything you can find, then doing a registry search for offbeat terms that msn may use and finishing off with a couple of registry cleaners.

Sort of like when you need to completely remove a trial program in order to get another free trial.
