[THIN] Re: Office Username Dialog box

I was actually able to do this by doing the following.

- loged in as administrator
- opened word and, in the tools - options - user information tab, removed the username and initials that were there.
- then closed word
- change user /install
- opened word and put a single space in the username section.
- closed word
- change user /execute

So far this appears to have done it.

Microsoft writes this to the registry in Hex whic makes it a bit of a
pain to manipulate.  I have a Kix script that worked for me under
Office 2000 that will probably work for Office 2003 with a little
tweaking.

I got this from the Kix website a while back.
