yahoo: my grandson checked his yahoo mail on my pc now I can't get rid of all of his info ie instant messages?

When your grandson checked his email on your computer------ he first HAD to "sign out" of your account, AND then "sign in" to his own account.

WHEN he finished----he SHOULD have "signed out" of his account which would have allowed you to "sign back in" to your account.

Since you're getting his info---obviously, he didn't sign out.

You'll have to sign him out.

At the top of your mail page----click "sign out"----(that should get rid of his account)-----then you can "sign in" to your own.

If you are viewing your grandson's information -- eg., instant messages -- this means that his Yahoo! account may be set to a "default log-in".

For example: if your grandson had 'logged in/signed in' to both his Yahoo! Messenger and his e-mail, both of these applications on his Yahoo! account may now be set to automatically 'start' when you turn on your computer.

Ask your grandson to help you to rectify this situation. Otherwise, see the webpage (URL below) which explains how to 'turn on/off the automatic start-up' of Yahoo! Messenger.

"How to Set Up Yahoo! Messenger to Start (and Not Start) Automatically"

[Note: the 'turn off' information appears in Step 3]. ----
