    Hi all,

    This may be a stupid question that has an obvious answer, but when AOL starts up it automatically shows all of the screen names for the account in a drop down list so that you can select the screen name to log on with.

    I don't want others who have access to my computer to know my screen names ;)

    Is there any way to hide or delete the screen names so they don't automaically show up every time the program starts??

    Thanks --

    the only way i am aware of, is by hi-lighting the usernames you want deleted, and pressing "delete"... of course this means you will have to:

    1) remember the screenames so you can type them in when you want to use them

    and 2) delete them this way every time you are finished using them.

    That doesn't work, at least on version 9... the sign in screen doesn't allow you to delete any of the screenames from the drop down list...
