My email address is linked to a profile screenname in MSN. Currently I have people locating me by my email address to communicate in Windows Messenger. Can I have them locate me by either the screenname that is linked to my email address in MSN, or by the name which i've opted to be displayed in Windows Messenger, without revealing my email address?

When I go there, it requires you enter an email address in order to get a passport account. Since you need a passport account to sign on to Windows Messenger, we're back to the email address being necessary to locate you in Windows Messenger. I don't think you can locate someone with just a screenname that does not identify it's linked email address, like AIM does. "Kenny S" wrote: you go here and create an account...

Windows Messenger help even refers to something called a "sign-in name" but doesn't tell you how to create one!

Greetings, It's never going to happen. Otherwise, I could search for "john" and simply harvest everyone's e-mail address the results come up as. -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger/MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com All posts unless otherwise specified are (c) 2006 Jonathan Kay.
