How can I change my login details to take into account my name and not my e-mail address?

Hello world

I'm sick to see my e-mail address appears each time I want to log in to my PC. I'm on a Surface very basically my Microsoft account is not @live.com is my school address (@syr.edu). Thus, it seems extremely sticky when it shows just my e-mail address of school on everything, including SkyDrive. is it possible for me to keep the e-mail address but change the name that is displayed? I hope this makes sense. As, when I first turn on the Surface, it takes me to the login screen and where you enter your password it says my e-mail address. Does anyone know of a way to change it so that it says my name and my e-mail address no? Thank you!

Very strange, my parents use another area for their Microsoft Account (ironically, their Windows Live ID (now MS Account) is a gmail address).  But it still shows their name on the signin areas and other.

Maybe try this.  Go to http://account.live.com and sign in using your address @syr.edu.  Then click "Edit name" and see if that comes into force.

    Hi BelindaDavidson,

    1. you have any mail client? What mail client do you use?
    2. If you have the email client, email address is configured?

    If you have the e-mail client, and if it is set up with hotmail, then only you will get hot mail as a default email client. That's why you need to configure Hotmail to your e-mail client.

    Current releases (29 and following) the orange Firefox menu button has been replaced by the bar of three Firefox Menu button at the right end of the Navigation bar in Firefox and this button are always visible if the Menu bar is visible or hidden.

    You can have the bar of menus visible through the context menu of a toolbar to have the menus as the file menu, print, print (Ctrl + P) and the bookmarks and history with the tools.

    You can enable or disable switch title bar via the "Title bar" button at the bottom left in the palette to customize window.

  • How can I change the size of the area in which the name of the journal is written?

    The sheet name box is unnecessarily large. Is there a way to reduce this size? In this way, I'll be able to see all the names sheet set. Here I don't see all the worksheet names together and have to scroll unnecessarily so. Any help please?

    Unfortunately there is no way to change the size of the tabs containing the journal names.  If you don't like scrolling (which is much faster if you drag right or left instead of using the <>on the right), you can use this jump to Automator Service sheet (download Dropbox).

    To install simply double-click on the downloaded package .workflow and possibly to give permission to System Preferences > Security and privacy.

    Use simply choose jump to numbers worksheet > Services menu.  Or better yet, attach a keyboard shortcut to System Preferences > keyboard > shortcuts > Services.

    On my machine every time I want to see all sheets in a document and choose one that I just type cmd-shift-J and get something like this:
