Qusetion about User Name, Display Name and e-mail
« on: July 08, 2017, 07:07:30 PM »
These three items I would like to be seperatre.

A. My user name in teh windows file system
B. The dispaly name that is visible on the dektop and lon in screen
C. My e-mail used for mymicrosoft account.


Also, I would like to have the ability to change any of the abouve without doing a lot of painfull work. Privacy is one concern. And  how can I get  rid  of the Dispaly name I chjoose in a moment of egotisim.  :(

So, how can I do this? Presently Windows 10 wants me to use my e-mail to sign in. What if I want to close my e-mail? Besides, it is a bother to type in the whole address. Cn't I just have a short name that is menifull on the locfal network?
As for the dsplay name, now it embarases me.  :-\

What can I cahnge? How?
