Hi all,

I usually use a pseudonym for stuff I do; however, somehow this
pseudonym has gotten into some Windows setting. Now everytime I open
Word, Outlook or other applications that show the initial splash screen,
I see that pseudonym right above the company name. I would like to
change that to something else.

I was not able to locate where I can do this and a search through the
registry did not yield any results.

Does anyone know how I can change this?

Thanks
Saga
 
Try here...

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion
Value Name: RegisteredOrganization
Data Type: REG_SZ
Value Data: ???

Value Name: RegisteredOwner
Data Type: REG_SZ
Value Data: ???

Hope this helps. Let us know.

Hi,

For your Office applications:

See the "How to Change the User Name Information" sections in the
Knowledge Base article that corresponds with your Office version:

Office 2003: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=821550
Office XP: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=290528
Office 2000: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=233499
 
Thanks for the info. I checked the registry entry and see that this
still
has the right name. Since I have only noticed this with Office apps, I
am beginning to think that this might be a configuration related to
these
applications specifically.

Best wishes

Thanks for the reply. I was convinced that this setting was system wide;
however, after following the instructions on the link that you provided
(I
have Office XP) the splash screen now shows the correct name. Perhaps
this setting pertained only to the Office suite. In any case, I will
keep
my eyes open for any more occurrences of my pseudonym.

Best wishes
Saga
 
Well, Torgeir got you straightened out.
