Hi... where does the Yahoo password get stored on the computer... I need to know because I have a young cousin who's always fiddling with my computer (he's pretty good at it ) and I don't want my Yahoo messenger/ account opened... can you help me? :confused: oh it's the win98 OS

Open up Yahoo Messenger.

Type in Your Yahoo ID and password.

Now UNCLICK the box that says "Remember my ID & password"

Now click on SIGN IN.

There you go, your little cousin cannot access your account.
