How can I change my name that displays on correspondents' FROM list in their Inbox? That is, how can I change my "From" name that automatically displays ? ---GG, artistGG---Artist

FROM display name:Thanks for your answer, but I don't see "Tools" when I am in the Write screen, nor in the Inbox or Outbox of MSN Internet Explorer. What screen am I supposed to go to in order to access the "Tools" link that you suggest?GG---ArtistGG---Artist

Since you didn't tell us anything otherwise, my CrystalBall© assumed you were using Outlook Express (OE) to access (send) your emails.Are you accessing your mail via Internet Explorer (IE6) or MSN Explorer? (They're not the same thing.)In any event & assuming it's a name[AT]msn.com or name[AT]hotmail.com account, the "display name" corresponds to the NAME setting in your Live ID profile/account: https://account.live.com/ IOW if your account's NAME is, e.g., GG---Artist, that'll be your "display name" in emails you send, too. If you change it to, e.g., Geoffrey George, that'll be your new "display name" in emails.~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) ~ MS MVP (IE, Mail, Security, Windows & Update Services) since 2002 ~ Disclaimer: MS MVPs neither represent nor work for Microsoft

I use MSN Explorer for email. I didn't know that Windows Live affects MSN Explorer email. So in Windows Live I have registered the name I want to use in MSN Explorer, and itshowed up as I wish when I just sent myself an email.So many, many thanks for taking the time to respond to me. It helped a lot !!!GG---Artist GG---Artist
