I have Windows Vista Home Premium pre-installed on a new computer and I really need help with the following problem, can anyone tell me how I can hide my email address so that it doesn't so up in the body or whom it's from?

Why would you want to do that? Or have you put your email address in the account user info Name box so that it shows instead of your name?

To keep my email address private.

don't put it in it will not let you continue, it just says enter a valid email address.

Use something like Windsurfer NoMail.invalid (see my return address) Note: Although it is standard procedure to use a non-working email address for newsgroups posts, that procedure is not acceptable for emails since it is equivalent to spamming. Headers of a sent email contain your originating IP address, so a savvy investigator can discover the originator even when the return address is forged. Gary VanderMolen "Wind"

If you don't tell anyone your email address, then you will not have any mail to worry about will you? If you write to someone and don't include your address, how do they reply? You have to think about this a little longer Windsurffer. Or are you MAYBE talking about subscribing to newsgroups, and keeping your address private?
