Greetings ....D

ok - may be "disabled" was a wrong choice of word, as I'm
definitely not an expert - which is probably why I'm
seeking help on this newsgroup :-)

So, how do I stop the problem from happening please? I
have unchecked the boxes as Jonathan suggested. I don't
seem to be seen by others now... but I still get the
message that I'm logged on at another location.

Thanks for your interest and... solution.
Sophie
