My email address associated with my windows messenger
account does not match my user name. I want to cancel
messenger and start over. I understand that the email
address comes from the .net passport used by messenger
and I have canceled that email address (hotmail) this day.

What can I do next so that the user name under XP and the
email address on messenger are the correct pair?
 
Greetings Jo,

I'm not 100% sure what you mean -- why would it need to match your user name?

However, you can change your e-mail address in Messenger by doing the following -- click
Start, then Control Panel, then User Accounts, click the current Windows XP account that
you're logged in under, then click "Change my .NET Passport", choose the "Use a Different
Passport" button and go through the wizard to set your account.
