How to Change Your Display Name in Outlook Express
The display name in Microsoft's Outlook Express program is the string shown in an email recipient's "from" label. If the user does not specify a sender, email clients automatically use the full email address. To make email more professional or personal, most people prefer to have their full name used by the email client.
