Clean your temp files and your cookies and the problem should go away. What
probably happened is somewhere along the line you ended up logging in a
second time (perhaps from not typing your password correctly the first time)
and on the next screen forgot to tick the option to not remember you so the
user is now remembered. Once you delete your cookies and temp files you can
go back in and tick the box and it shouldn't remember you. After that you
should have a cookie on your system from Passport (or is it MSN??? It's one
of the two and I haven't logged on via the web in a long time so can't say
which one it is right now) that says something about "Shared Computer" and,
if you use some sort of cookie management software, you can keep that one
and it should always remember that you selected to not store the username on
the PC.
