NameOnSignin registry entry for MsgPlusLive? by shoek on 11-16-2006 at 03:05 PM

I have come to really appreciate the NameOnSignin registry setting that MsgPlus! 3.x supported.  I had it so that my home computer set my name to "Name @ Home", my work machine to "Name @ Work" and my laptop to "Name @ Laptop". 

Now that I use MsgPlusLive, this key doesn't seem to be working anymore.  Is there a new key?  Or an equivalent workaround?

What happens now is that my name isn't always correct for which computer I'm using... eg: I'm on my work desktop and it still says "Name @ Laptop"...

Thanks in advance,

You could make a script that changes your name.

code:
function OnEvent_Signin(sEmail)
{
  if (sEmail == "mailaddress@hotmail.com")
  {
    Messenger.MyName = "Name @ Laptop";
  }
}
