"Ded" Screen Name trick: VB method

This is the same as the FDO method, but you can use Visual Basic to do the same trick. This is how you do it:

1.) Sign on a master screen name. 2.) Create 2 sub accounts. One sub is the one you want to make ded, give it master status. The other sub doesn't matter. It's only needed so that a name will show up in the "Delete" list. 3.) Write a code that writes directly to the listbox. When you do write to the listbox, your screen name needs to be in the same exact case as the screen name you want to make ded. 4.) Sign on the screen name you want to make ded (The one with master status). 5.) Write to the listbox, and click delete.

Your screen name is now "ded". You no longer can send and receive mail. If you want to make a "permanent" profile, and FTP space on that screen name, make sure you create them before you delete the screen name.
