Signing into Windows 8 with a MS account

[.Griff.]

After trying out Windows 8 on my laptop for a week I took the plunge and installed it on my main PC earlier in this week.

I quite like the fact you can sign into Windows 8 with a Microsoft account and that allows me to sync settings, files and so on between both PC's.

However... When I use my MS account to sign in it then displays my personal email address in the top right hand corner of Metro. This isn't such an issue at home but if I sign in using my MS account at work I don't really want my personal email address visible to everyone who walks past the monitor.

Apart from using a local account to sign in is there any way to hide my email address from Metro?

It's because you haven't filled in your account info.
Log into your ms account and fill in first and last name. It will show that rather than email if its filled in.

Thank you so much!

That's done the trick.
