O.P. Huh?  Changing Windows Live Messenger (taskbar name)
Is there anyway to do this? sometimes I get very confused with which live account I have open.

I want to change the taskbar name. Where it says (Windows Live Messenger) to my name or my company's name. Is this possible?

It is possible but not with Plus! Actually, this is not the best place to say this but you need MessengerDiscovery to change the caption of the taskbar button. :)

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.
