Sign out of WLM.
Select one of the IDs you want to remove from the drop down list on the sign in
panel.
Click on "Forget Me" underneath the remember me setting.
Repeat for each ID you wish to remove.

Greetings Jim,

Just open up the main Messenger window, then sign out if you're signed in by right-clicking
on the notification area icon and choosing Sign Out, and select each account you wish to
remove from the window followed by clicking the 'Forget' link.

thanks...

I did it and I deleted the ones I didnt want..

The link however is easy to overlook.. perhaps a small red circle with a
white X button would be better
