Anybody know how to change your display name for Messenger while logged into Live? For example, my friend comes up as "Joe" when he's on his computer, but if he messages me via Live Messenger on XBL it comes up as "joe@gmail.com" whereas when I talk to him it's "Twiggy" regardless of where I'm logged on.

This worked for me:

http://mobile.live.com/wlm/imsi.aspx?__redir=1&

Login there, and change your display name. It should initially show whatever name you're trying to change from.

This works; albeit the signin page is very sketchy

do the following steps:

1. access your xbox 360 guide

2. select your profile (click your gamertag)

3. select "auto sign-in"(sixth option)

and there you will have the option to enable or disable auto sign-in for xbox live and msn
