Ok here goes. I have 2 accounts that I am using in Windows Live Messenger (MSN). The prob is that the 2nd one (the one I would like to keep but barely use) always logs in 1st (when Vista boots up). I guess the reason as to why it does that is the name of the account (letter order). Is there a setting somewhere that allows me to change the "order" or "importance" of the accounts, so the one I really use loads up at boot?. Cheers guys.

Strange :-\ Usually MSN automatically logs in with the last used account.

I thought so to. In my case it always logs in with the account I don't want. I log out and log in with the one I want. Shut down PC, and when I fire it back up, it starts up with that dam 1st account again .

1. Log out. 2. Select the account that logs in first. 3. UNCHECK the "automatically log in" box for this account. 4. Select your main account. 5. Make sure the auto-login box is checked.

Cheers! Will try that! EDIT: Ok at least it asks me if I want to sign in ( the main address that I would like to sign in as 1st/main) but still... it asks me, it don't sign me in automatically .
