Changing Result Column Name

How do I change the column name returned in the result set of a For-
Xml-Explicit query?
Currently I get
XML_F52E2B61-18A1-11d1-B10500805F49916B
---
<root><child/>...</root>
I've tried select ( select .....for xml explicit ) AS MyName, but
that doesn't fly with query analyzer.
Cheers,
AedenAre you on SQL 2000 or 2005?

temporary table first and select from that. You could probably do something
with an XML variable in 2005, which is why I asked. FOR XML EXPLICIT is
deprecated in SQL 2005 and 2008. If you're pulling the result client-side,
the column name might not matter since you can usually reference the result
set columns by ordinal number.
