Open the messenger and go Tools>Options>Privacy and check "always ask me for my password when checking my hotmail or opening other .NET passport-enabled Web pages"
you might want to ensure that "This is a shared computer dont display my tabs" is enabled as well

You can change messenger so that it wont remember every email address or .Net passport people signed in under on a single PC.

1. In Start menu select Run
2. Enter: control userpasswords2
3. Go to Advanced tab
4. Select Manage Passwords Button
5. Add or Remove items at will.
