Hi Mike,

No, you can't just go into the registry and remove them (they aren't there). Are you using
the Dutch version of Windows XP? If you are, what you're seeing is a bug within the Dutch
version and as such, the 'Delete' button will do nothing and you will not be able to remove
these via that window.

As such, you'll need to remove all the passports by simply removing your Credentials file
(all your saved Passports will be removed). To do so, click Start, then Run, type:
%appdata%\microsoft\Credentials
and then click OK.
Then in the folder that appears you'll see another folder with a very long name, right click
this folder, choose Delete, then confirm the operation. You'll then need to reboot to see
the change.
