Description:

Instant message programs let you exchange messages (text, audio, or video) with another person or persons over the Internet in real time. If you do not want to disclose your Username to other user then this setting helps you by changing the previous logged in username. Using this, you can change the username that appears in the Yahoo! ID text box on its next Start.

For this, go to Start > Run menu, enter “regedit” and navigate to the registry path listed below. Create a string value name “Yahoo! User ID” in the right panel, if it does not exist. Right-click it and modify the data value with the user name you want to give to make it enabled.

Click “OK” and close the registry editor.

Restart the system or logoff to see the changes taking effect.
