yea I just tried that and it didn't work =/

kind of upset now because I thought I had found the answer.. :'(

Make a copy of your MSN folder before you change the title.
Create a short cut to that copy and name it Home or what ever
Change the title with Discovery.

Using both sort cuts to open the two versions of WLM might work. Depending on what Discovery actually does.

Or you can use discovery to change the title to Home, make a copy, and then change the title of the first one again to Work. That way you'll have one labeled Home and one labeled work.

No guarantees this will work though. Just a hunch.




worked perfectly !!! thanks for the idea.. :D

Or if he has Messenger Plus! Live a script can certainly do this depending on the current signed in user email.

code:
var oEmails = {
                'email1@hotmail.com' : 'the new name',
                'email2@hotmail.com' : 'another new name'
               }
function OnEvent_ContactListWndCreated() {
    var oTitle = Interop.Allocate(oEmails[Messenger.MyEmail].length*2+2);
    Interop.Call('user32', 'SetWindowText', Messenger.ContactListWndHandle, oTitle.DataPtr);
}
