Hi there is an employee who no longer works here. I'd like to remove the guys Identity but it asks me for his password. What is the trick around this?

Thanks all your comments are much appriciated
 
you can go to regedit and delete the following

hkey_current_user> identities> then click on one of the long group of numbers listed below, each one represents a identity in outlook express. once you click the numbe the name will be displayed in the left side next to "username"

for example the user i just deleted showed the following "key" under "identities" HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\{582794E2-8DBE-11D6-BE6D-0050046E52B6}

what i did was just delete all the values in the left hand side. "Jack of all trades. Master of none."
