<< There is however one option... setup aol on a different computer, create the :"hidden" name there, then remove aol from that machine, then you can use the guest logon to sign on to your new screen name but it will not show up in the list of names (at least until you delete and reinstall aol, or add another screen name at that terminal) >> Hi. I don't think that will work, since you cannot create a new screen name on an account without first being logged on to the network computer via the master account. Logging on through geust still must access that master account which will automatically update the list. An AOLer
