I've done that and all I get is the option to sign into messneger, themes, account and options. I tried clicking on options and I get brought to a page that I can't do anything useful on.

As you can see, I don't get that option with the new Hotmail layout.



I sign out but I don't get the option to turn the automatic sign in to that location on or off.

Any other solution?

Hey guys, I was having the same problem, and only have the options that BadRabbit has posted in her screen cap. I have found a solution that appears to work, and that is simply click on the messenger area in the top right corner of hotmail and click "Sign out of Messenger" and your display name on messenger won't be changing every time you login to Hotmail. It doesn't show the enable/disable option that everyone is having trouble finding, but it still fixes the original problem.

I did a couple of trials and turned that option on and off and signed in and out of messenger,and that "sign out" option seems to do the trick.

Issue should now be fixed.

Well today i signed into hotmail, and when i got to msn, it changed my personal message back to my old one. I noticed in my windows live profile, the message was still the old one i had and not the new.

Is this normal?

Please anyone knows how to customize the display name?
I was forced to upgrade to the beta version because of problems with the movie maker and messenger now I'm getting this problem.
Do not want to leave first and last name and would like to add characters as well. thanks for listening.

With the latest version there isn't a nickname. You have to use your full name. However you can try changing it on your passport. That should resolve it.
