Live Messenger opens home and business profile on Mac

I have Live Messenger or MSN Messenger installed on my Mac.

When it opens, it opens two separate instances of Live Messenger. One is my
"home" profile and the other is my "work" profile.

I am not sure how it got there. I only use one email passport for
messenger. This is not the case on all computers. On another Mac and a XP
box, only one instance of messenger opens and everything works fine.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Sam

Hello, I had the same problem, I couldn't find how to remove the
business account after I had enabled it, when trying to clear the
business address via settings it said invalid email address... This is
what I did:
4. To remove your existing Messenger for Mac preferences, delete the
following files in the correct User/Library/Preferences/Microsoft folder:
* com.microsoft.Messenger.plist
* com.microsoft.MessengerDaemon.plist
* Microsoft Messenger User Cache

Next time I started messenger it told me to setup my account. And I was
careful not to enable any business account

The instructions came from this page:

I hope this is what you were asking about, there isn't really any
question in your post

I really hope there's some easier way to do this via settings dialog but
I couldn't find it.
