That's just the USER information, not who registered the software.

I thought Office particularly 2000 Professional let each programme
within it change the user.

Word : Select Tools menu Options and User Information tab insert new
company here.

Excel: Select Tools menu Options and General tab insert new company
against User Name.

Powerpoint: Select Tools menu Options and General tab insert new company
here.

It may well apply to Office Icon too?

Give it a go.

Mike
