Greetings Gerry,

Easily. Just click the Start Button, then click the Control Panel. Then, click User Accounts
in the Control Panel. Select the Windows account name in question, and then on the left side
of the screen, under Related Tasks, click 'Manage my Network Passwords'. In the window that
opens, click the Passport.Net\* (Passport) entry and click 'Remove'.

Then right-click the icon and choose Exit.
