My husband and I share the same accout, is there a way to switch names depending on who is on. We have two accouts they are linked and they show different names on my screen but not on IM screen to my contacts can I change that? Does that all make sense? Not entirely clear.but..If you want separate accounts click on START...then CONTROL PANEL.then USER ACCOUNTS...and set up one for the person that doesnt yet have one...Hope this helps..
