To edit your name as it appears in an IM box...





1). Log into Yahoo! Messenger.


2). Click on Messenger.


3). Click on My Contact Details.


~~If you want to have your First Name only, delete your Last name.


~~If you want to use the Nickname field, delete your First and Last name and enter the name you would like to see in the IM box in the Nickname field.


~~If you want only your Account ID to show, leave all fields blank.


4). Always click Apply and OK when making any changes.
